We came through Romania and Bulgaria in May/June of last year with no incidents at all. I think the "dangers" of these countries are exaggerated, especially with respect to certain countries in Western Europe. Things are changing rapidly in this part of Europe.
Be careful of the cops in Bulgaria, they may be less corrupt than they used to be, but we saw plenty of cops busting folks for speeding, so keep your eyes open.
The biggest danger IMO are the mafiosos driving the big luxury sedans on the highway. They drive like maniacs under their own set of rules and seem to have a pretty good relationship with the police too. Give these guys plenty of space!
