  Abstract:  The current article presents the current Romanian developments of the legislation relating to defamation offences, from both a historical and regional perspective. A brief overview of Romania’s neighboring countries and their legal systems regarding defamation trends is included and provides with comparative points on the regional trends regarding the phenomena of re-criminalization of defamation in the latter years (2010 - 2012) in the region, as well as the debates surrounding it. The article concludes with an analysis of the compatibility between the legal provisions and the proportionality principle promoted by the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and suggests perspective changes that should lead to an optimization of the legislative process.
