Summary/Abstract: After the events of 11th September 2001, the importance of the Wider Black Sea Area has been reconsidered in order to increase it. By default, the security in the area has begun to be seen and perceived not only from transatlantic perspective but also under regional side. The lack of a common vision on the area is not the exclusive issue of the countries in this region. The Euro-Atlantic actors have not prepared a strategic plan to develop the region, which continues to face several unresolved secessionist conflicts, organized crime on international scale, the existence of terrorist groups and, last but not least, military threats from the Russian Federation.
