Summary/Abstract: The article presents some aspects of Romania’s evolution within the Warsaw Treaty Organisation (WTO), focusing on the divergences between our country and the other Warsaw Pact member states related mainly to defence and collective security. Thus some distinct positions Romania adopted within the WTO, especially after 1964, are mentioned. The author shows that the flagrant contradictions between Romania and the other member states irritated Moscow that responded adopting a coordinated active measures programme through which Romania’s actions were reinterpreted and distortedly presented in the West, the analysis of the material available to research showing that, more often than not, the coordinated active measures met their goals.
