The ALADIN model was developed by Meteo France based on the IFS / ARPEGE code, but now I don’t think it is still operational in France. It has been replaced by AROME (which is now available on Windy). The ALADIN code is shared within the ALADIN Consortium, which represents some fifteen countries in Europe and North Africa. For more details see this document:

I understand it but ALARO-RO Model could be added

Yes, and people from Romania (ALARO-ROmania) would be happy!
But, what about Spaniards, Irish etc

You cannot please all of the people all of the time,
but that is a "problem" with LAM (Limited Area Models)
and this is not such a bad thing.

Unfortunately, even if AROME and ALARO use more or less the same ALADIN code, I think that these different versions cannot be mixed as a composite image (like radar data from different countries)
