COUNTERING THE SECURITY RISKS IN THE BLACK SEA REGION - IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIAN-GEORGIAN WAR -

Summary/Abstract: In the modern era, a wide range of threats affect the maritime domain and, given these circumstances, it is important to take action by monitoring and preventing security threats from occurring in maritime regions and to achieve a proper maritime security. At the same time, the Russian-Georgian war demonstrates that a direct confrontation between states’ naval forces, a regional conflict characterised by combined conventional and asymmetric actions with low and medium intensity, is still possible. In order to provide a proper solution for the Black Sea maritime security, Romania considers that the risks and opportunities in the region are similar to those in other regions like the Mediterranean Sea and, under these conditions, it is important to have a common approach in all those regions. Romania should support NATO and the EU security commitments and sustain their democratic actions in the region.
