Summary/Abstract: The article makes a brief analysis of the situation of the cocaine trafficking situation in Romania in 2019, especially given the situation of EU membership and being a state with a significant external border of the EU. Recent captures in the maritime border area are a concern both for public opinion, but especially for lawenforcement institutions in the field of drug trafficking. An oscillating situation of cocaine captures is observed in Romania, which leads us to conclude that in the last period of timeit has become a place that criminal groups seek as cocaine trafficking passages, especially from Europe to Turkey. Through this brief study, we draw the attention of those concernedto the danger that the drug market in Romania will grow in the field of cocaine and crack. At the level of consumption, we can say that the percentage of cocaine and crack consuming population is small. This is also due to the high price of cocaine. It is necessary to increase the cooperation activities in the maritime border between the bodies involved inthe field of countering cocaine trafficking.
