Summary/Abstract: Given the fact that current migration waves do not have a specific approach and it is important to try to avoid most of the negative influences that could come from this phenomenon, I consider that there is another factor that could have a beneficial impact on these evolutions. But how can we speak about cooperation for development and stability when we do not know some aspects that can cause important disorders if they are not treated right? And that is one of the reasons why along with identity aspects, in this paper, I choose to study the demographic changes and challenges in the Black Sea Area, their involvements in security and how they could lead to conflict. This area can be considered a risk for security, because here there are a lot of contradictions and conflicts, most of them based on ethnic differences, territorial claims and energy disputes. But, beyond this, a new category of risks must be taken into account, so along with the main demographic phenomena and structural changes of population, I will also approach other aspects, because some trends will result in a redistribution of population that could lead to the amplification of the ethnic and religious sources conflicts. And regarding these possibilities, diplomacy and why not some public diplomacy techniques, could lead to stability in an area dominated by uncertainty and frozen conflicts.
