Summary/Abstract: The lack of security and stability is a major obstacle to the democratic stabilization of Moldova, which has already negative consequences for individuals, groups and the state as a whole. The immediate vicinity to the NATO and the EU offers the advantage to be placed in the area of priority interests of the Euro-Atlantic community of states. Moldova, as a part of the new European “borderland”, cannot be left without assistance. The Moldovan government should be encouraged to do its best in order to solve its problems by mobilizing all its own resources and potentials. At the same time, the international institutions need to promote a political, economic and a security order in Moldova consistent with Euro-Atlantic interests. Yet there is no indication of this being done or seriously planned. Moldova undoubtedly remains the least known, least researched, indeed the most ignored country of Europe. With little international notice and even less action, the situation in Moldova has degraded to the point of challenging the security interests and democratic values of the enlarged Euro-Atlantic community.
