These are Willow Spreadwings (Lestes viridis/parvidens).

Eastern Willow Spreadwing is probably the most likely in most of Romania, and the relatively dark pterostigmas perhaps point to this ID. Both species could be found anywhere in Romania though, and these photos don't allow conclusive identification.
