Summary/Abstract: The outcome of the power quest from the Black Sea region – in the new geopolitical and geostrategical context: the NATO and EU expansion towards east, the raised interest for Caspian energetic resources, the appearance of new and asymmetrical risks and threats – will influence the peaceful and stable climate both European and global. Starting from the indivisible security premise, Romania as NATO and EU member, must become a “dynamic vector” of stability and wealth in the Pontic area. Naval Forces, part of state’s maritime power, play an important role in projecting and protecting national interests, assuring security and maintaining stability in the nearby neighbourhood. Solving problems around the Black Sea, securing Caspian and Siberian energetic resources transport pipes, preventing asymmetrical threats (terrorism, smuggling, all kinds of traffic favoured by maritime space), all these have amplified the geopolitical and geostrategical role of Romania’s Naval Forces.
