Romanian term or phrase: "a spus Pavelescu la sfarsitul saptamanii trecute"
The above is at the end of some reported speech in an article I'm translating. Should it translate as "said Pavelescu at the end of last week" or "said Pavelescu last weekend"?

Explanation:
I think this would be right if you have no information saying that he said that on a Saturday or Sunday :). End of the week would mean Friday in this case - end of the "working week".
Good luck
