When you want to have someones property it is not unfair to ask for its _current_ value. The Swedes might have bought the property for $28 million back then, but who says that it isn't worth today $800 million or $120 million? The market could have grown, the Swedes could also have invested a lot of money afterwards in factories and so on. When looking at a country like Romania and the insane corruption going on there it is really hard to say for outsiders who is to blame in this case. I mean they nationalise markets (= steal stuff that others built or bought), who is to say that the same Romanian officials that stole the property did not force the Swedes to pay bribes in order for them to not loose everything. Your argument basically stops making sense for me the moment you mention nationalisation of property as if it wasn't stealing. How would you feel if your government nationalised your house or your car? Well you lived in your house for 20 years already, so you sufficiently profited from owning it, didn't you? Now get out and go sleep under a bridge! No you're not going to get any money back, except if you bribe me with $600.000.
