Summary/Abstract: The security environment from Central and South-Eastern Europe is, nowadays, characterized by the existance of some conflicts, menaces, threats, risks and challenges that affect the regional stability, the way to democracy and the prosperity of the states. In the Western Balkans, nationalists outbursts, and religious disputes, corruption and organized crime give birth and feed violence and extremism, terrorist acts on the peace and safety of the states from this region. In the Nistru zone, the actions of the separatists from Transnistria, of the trafficants and of the organised crime groups, but also the presence of foreign troops maintain a reign of terror and incertitude. The existence of the Republic of Moldavia as a state is at stake and it is a source of permanent instability close to NATO and EU vicinity. The responsible way in which the regional initiatives and the security orga- nisms deal with the latent conflicts from Kosovo and Transnistria, through cooperation, leave room for hope for a peaceful solution in order to consolidate the stability in the region. Thus, this part of Europe will be integrated in the new architecture of European and global security. Romania, as a member state will play an active role.
