Summary/Abstract: In the process of contemporary transformations and in the current regional geopolitical context, the sovereign state must respond to current contemporary and future needs, having to transform, improve and adapt. Sovereignty, the main attribute of the state, thus takes on an upward dynamic, enduring various changes/transformations both national and international/community. In my opinion, there are two main dimensions of European sovereignty, namely the sovereignty of the Union and the sovereignty of the Member States within the Union. The interplay between these two dimensions has come under intense public scrutiny in recent years and has increasingly become one of the „hottest” topics on the public agenda, including in Romania. This interdependence between European sovereignty and the sovereignty of the EU member states has undergone significant developments over the decades, and Romania was no stranger to this process. The Member States are in a continuous process of redefinition, European sovereignty resulting from the sovereignty of the Member States, and the sharing of sovereignty, when and where necessary, transforms each Member State into a stronger nation, better prepared to face the challenges of the future , regardless of whether they are strategic, political, economic, social or cultural. Thus, the two dimensions of European sovereignty are essentially governed by complementarity and reciprocity, not by competitiveness or mutual exclusion.
