Why is the security of the Black Sea region important? Or, is the Black Sea important at all or more important than the Baltic Sea? What states are particularly concerned with the security situation in this region? These are questions which the hereby article attempts to answer, in a coordinated approach which takes into account the existing security challenges and threats, the existing actors of the international community and especially one riparian state – Romania. By emphasizing the steps undertaken by this country in becoming a security provider, our intention is to conclude that the Ally and EU member state Romania is a reliable stability pillar in the region and that, besides national efforts, for any “construction” in the region to last, it needs the constant and active support of the North-Atlantic Alliance and the EU.
