Summary/Abstract: Often the side effects of the regional crisis have broad implications on the energy security issues. This is what happened recently when the Ukraine crisis emerged. Now, more than ever, the international attention focuses on the Black Sea Region, a place where major interests of actors in the political international arena converge. The energy security will be the next big challenge for all the developed countries and, in the same time, a great opportunity for new ways of energy diversification. In this context, Romania has the chance to play the role of an energetic hub in the Black Sea Region as long as it seizes correctly all the opportunities.
