Let us be clear about something here. You overstayed your visa because you were still in the country after your visa expired.
That is how the government sees it, no matter your personal opinion. If you try to explain it as filtered through your personal opinion, you will find that no one in the government will be very sympathetic.
Additionally, the SBS program was not and is not halted. It was planned to phase it out, but the government changed their mind on the subject. In fact, specifically for Romanians and Bulgarians.
While I can't give you specific advice as to your next options, and I do, in fact, have some sympathy toward your predicament, I would like to suggest that you craft a story that might allow folks in immigration to grant you some sort of favor or exception.
I overstayed a visa in Latvia two years back. Instead of going in and blaming the immigration staff for bad immigration laws & policies, I accepted my mistake and apologized. I asked them for advice and assistance.
The short of it was that I still was expelled from the country for seven weeks while I sorted out a new application .. however, it was done in a graceful enough manner that I was able to re-apply and come back without being banned for five years.
Moral: consider your personal diplomacy options and give other folks a chance to save face while trying to help out an honest person. You may need to be creative, and you might consider being a bit humble about your "mistake."
Do you have any sort of marks in your passport that prove you overstayed? And by how long? Other documentation or records that you know of?
I managed to make a formal, written request to be allowed to leave the country and they marked my passport showing I was rather cooperative .. which allowed me the grace to return without incident.
