It's always percent ABV (alcohol by volume). As you can see in this table, typical values for rakia (rachiu in Romanian) are 40–86% ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume ).
Degrees proof is a term originating in English tax law where the drink catching fire was deemed 100 proof. But it's only used in the US now.
