BLACK SEA REGION - EUROPEAN AND EURO- ATLANTIC SECURITY SPACE
BLACK SEA REGION - EUROPEAN AND EURO- ATLANTIC SECURITY SPACE

Summary/Abstract: The appearance, on January 1st, 2007, of the common border of NATO and EU at the Black Sea represents a step forward to a new dimension of this region in the sphere of security. Even if the risks, the dangers and the threats still exist, the Black Sea area offers wide opportunities in the development of the process of building a space of peace, security and prosperity. Through the development of regional military cooperation, and lately through UE effort to widen the cooperation between riparian countries from the Black Sea region, Romania, as a member of both NATO and EU, has a very active role in the wider region of the Black Sea. This region will become a pillar of stability, security and lasting development, a confluence zone based on economic, political and military components. These components will irradiate security in the Middle East and Central Asia. The risks caused by the regional frozen conflicts, by the secessionist countries, by the illegal traffic of drugs, persons and weapons, by the corruption by the clandestine migration and over border organized crime will be better managed through more dialogue, trust and the diminishing of tensions.
