Roumania Street as a name is no longer in use, there is instead Roumania Rise. 

 “Another fruitful source of names was the Russo-Turkish war of 1877, which indeed caused a district, for a time at any rate, to be named “Turkey”. There are:- Balkan Street, Belgrade Street, Bosnia Street, Plevna Street, Osman Street, Servia Street, and Sultan Street”. "Empire Battle Memories" John J Marshall, Belfast Telegraph - Friday 07 March 1941. 

“That the application of Messers Thomas Dixon and Son to name three new streets off Albert Street  Roumania Street, Belgrade Street and Servia Street as shown on their sketch be granted”.  (25th October 1876).
