Summary/Abstract: A guiding principle in international relations for the past three centuries, the balance of power has become today a sub-systemic concept. Based on the analysis of the interests and the relations of power established in the Black Sea area, this study argues that, in such a difficult and complex space, stability can be achieved only through a realistic adjustment of the different interest belonging to the involved actors. Attempting to transform this region into a stable and prosperous one, Romania must first balance these interests, thus acting like an authentic moderator of the power equilibrium in the Wider Black Sea Region.
