Summary/Abstract: Regardless of the controversies caused by the presence of allied forces on the Romanianterritory, reality proves beyond any doubt that the Romanian state wishes to build uponsuch a situation to the benefi t of its own security, especially in the current internationalconjuncture. Such a choice may seem logical and responsible to the great majority of theRomanian people. However, in our opinion, there is still an element that needs to be adjusted:the same people’s perception on the status of foreign armed forces on the Romanian territory.The current paper aims to approach some legal issues regarding this matter, to contribute toa better understanding of the regulations that govern this domain and to reveal a principlethat needs to be unanimously accepted: the allied forces need to be treated, for better orworse, just like a host nation’s military.
