Summary/Abstract: It is critical that the European Union/EU, in its entirety, to avoid infl ated dependence on Russian infrastructure and to encourage direct relations with the states producing energetic resources or those providing transit to the member states. As international actors that mostly link, from their consumer position, to the world energetic resources and to the transport corridors, the EU members support the target of connecting the national interests to a common policy facilitating a broader access to the energetic sources. Promoting EU’s common vision on the security issues will assist the member states in focusing their efforts in order to act together aga inst risks and threats addressed to their energetic security, while interdependence among them will decrease the potential of confl ict emergence in the region.
