I found it in the Macin Mountains, Tulcea County, Romania, on 22 May 2018.
Anybody any idea on the genus or family?

Looks like Bloody-nosed Beetle Timarcha tenebricosa

Thanks Andy, but the feed seem different than the broad feed of imarcha tenebricosa. I think it looks more like a member of the Geotrupidae family.
What do you think?

Yoy are right about tarsi, it's not a Chrysomelid, try Tenebrionidae.

Agree but compare body shape, uncannily similar!
