Summary/Abstract: Within the current geo-strategic context, a decreasing trend of the conventional threats (violent military conflicts generated by state entities) is registered, while unconventional threats - called hybrid threats, are increasing. These “threats without enemies”, considered a “gray area” within the international security studies, tend to be much more ambiguous in their complexity, processes and effects, therefore highly perceived as risks and vulnerabilities to some systems. Among these threats, “problems without a passport” have been identified - clearly transnationally originated, not assumed by any state/non-state entity/organization and impossible to be defeated by conventional, military means.
