Summary/Abstract: The main priority of the Romanian foreign policy in 2005 and 2006 is the integration into the European Union. Even if all the political parties support the efforts in that way, it is not so easy to achieve that desideratum, because both internal and external impediments appear, which require ability and consistency in order to transcend these difficulties. The article presents briefly the increased efforts of Romania in order to pass the international isolation in which our country was in 1989. After that, there are presented the unexpected problems that have appeared between the Romanian’s relations with France and Germany in 2005, just with the countries considered like “the engine of the European Union”. The internal problems could be added to the external difficulties, because of the balanced political configuration between the two main political blocks of the Romanian internal political scene.
