Abstract
NATO DEPLOYS SYMBOLICALLY TROOPS NEAR UKRAINE, PLANS EXERCISES IN COMMON WITH UKRAINE’S NEIGHBOURS IN BLACK SEA. EUROPA DOES NOT SEEM READY TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR A PARTNER THAT IS DYSFUNCTIONAL IN TERMS OF ECONOMY, POLITICS AND HAVING DIFFICULTIES IN PAYING ITS DEBTS, BUT RUNS AGAINST RUSSIA. ROMANIA SHOULD STAY NEUTRAL IN THIS MATTER, BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF NATO AND EU, BUT ALSO IT IS IN BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE EU. IT SHOULD, THEREFOR MEDIATE THE TWO TO KEEP THE REGION CALM. ROMANIA’S INTEREST SHOULD BE PEACE AND STABILITY WITHIN ITS GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. ROMANIA’S RELATIONS WITH UKRAINE HAVE IMPROVE D SINCE IANUKOVICI WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT. UNDER HIS MANDATE ROMANIAN MANAGED TO OFFICIALISE THE ROMANIAN LANGUAGE IN MOST SETTLEMENTS IN UKRAINE AND ROMANIANS OBTAINED MANDATES IN THE SUPREME RADA. BEFORE IANUKOVICI, ROMANIA HAD DIFFICULTIES WITH UKRAINE, STARTING WITH THE DISPUTES ABOUT THE BLACK SEA, THE BASTROE CANAL OR NORTH BUCOVINA. ROMANIA’S STAND TOWARDS UKRAINEAN CONFLICTS IS PRO -EUROPEAN, FOR ROMANIANS IN UKRAINE HAVE AN INTEREST IN STABILITY AND EUROPEAN LAW ENFORCEMENT. ROMANIA WOULD MORE AFFECT BY A POSSIBLE CRISIS IN UKRAINE THAN OTHER STATES.
