Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to analyze the position of Romania concerning the project for European unification proposed by the French politician Aristide Briand. The Briand Project is the first project of European construction presented in official circumstances, during the meeting of the Society of Nations. The project of the European federal union focused on the political aspects, while the economic elements were subordinated to the political leaders. Romania approved the plan proposed by Briand, but issued some observations to make sure it didn’t endanger the interest of its foreign policy.We will focus on the project regarding a European federal union as proposed by the famous French politician of the interwar period, but also on the reactions of Romania, taken by certain Romanian politicians, regarding this project.
