That must be a ‘Araneus diadematus’, also known as the European Garden Spider or the Cross Spider; on the romanian wiki. I’m sure that’s a female. She’s an orb-weaver spider, which means they make orb webs (the casual circular web). They eat and rebuild their webs daily. They only bite if they feel in danger. They only mate once at the end of warmer seasons and die shortly after laying their eggs. The eggs hatch the next spring.
