I'm not sure whether you already got an offer for an IPv6 upstream.

In general, the recommendation is "ask your native IPv4 upstream to 
provide IPv6 upstream", but I am aware that this is quite often not
possible, so using "short" tunnels (short RTTs, over well-controlled
IPv4 infrastructure) can be a viable alternative.

So who are you using as IPv4 upstreams?  I can see rdsnet.ro, so maybe
they can do something?  From the RIPE stats files, I can see 5 IPv6
allocations to .ro, so maybe someone of those is in a good position to
assist?

stats> grep RO.ipv6 *ripencc*latest        
ripencc|RO|ipv6|2001:b30::|32|20030219|allocated
ripencc|RO|ipv6|2001:1518::|32|20030723|allocated
ripencc|RO|ipv6|2001:4098::|32|20040721|allocated
ripencc|RO|ipv6|2001:4b48::|32|20050121|allocated
ripencc|RO|ipv6|2001:4d80::|32|20051018|allocated

(My main goal isn't to send you away, but to avoid setting up far-distance
tunnels if a more regional solution can be found)
