Summary/Abstract: After achieving the double integration, in the NATO and UE, Romania not only became part of the Western and Euro-Atlantic family of democratic states and managed to attract much more foreign investments, but its political class began to leave behind the traditional historical fears, phobias and „nightmares”. Romania is trying now to build a new strategic profile and a new identity for its foreign and security policy, one which would consolidate its position within the West.
