Vegetable oil may smother the scale, but neem oil also poisons the juveniles, whose carapaces aren't yet impervious.
Something else that will work is known here in the US as "horticultural spray oil." It's available in garden shops here, and hopefully in Romania too. It's a fine oil that smothers the pests without clogging the plant's stomata.

Looking like a happy tree! Glad if we were able to help.
Tell Dara he needs to keep a close eye on it. Scale have a way of trying to return, and can be hard to detect at first.

That is very good news; I'm glad he stayed with it. Tell him to leave it out and let it thrive this summer. I hope he's fertilizing it as well.
Good Luck to him...
