That sounds strange. I do not know situation in Romania (I've been
there last time 15 years ago), but I think that guy on manager level
everywhere in the world should know English (more or less), so there
should be no problem to call from California and ask him about
opinion. Maybe his English wouldn't be perfect, but should be
sufficient for conversation.
English in nowadays world is something like latin in Europe one two
centuries before, an educated man should know it. :-)
