It looks like a Helops (tenebrionidae). I see a lot of H. caeruleus here and it looks very similar.

ok... for me, it seems to be H. coeruleus, but I don't know almost nothing by this insectsPfft
so...should it be identified like Helops coeruleus?

Many thanks for all your help

There is another Helops - rossii - in Romania, but I don't know what the distinguishing features are. For the moment I'd stick with Helops species, but one of our more expert coleopterists may be able to help further.
