Enrico, from what I know, are two Romanian on this forum. One is Raptor and the other one is me, Tudor.
So, which one are you talking to?
If you ask me, the answer is NO. No pet shop has permit or other legal paper to allow them to sell newts from European species. Every European species ARE PROTECTED.
Still, there are captive strains kept for scientific purposes, but nobody will sell you such animals.

I have never found in the Romanian pet shops other newts except Cynops orientalis. And none was CB, but WC instead.
So, no chance to find pyrrhogaster or Paramesotriton
