In its opinion, Romania has the obligation to support Ukraine in the context in which, "at security level, a weakened Caucasus would represent a permanent temptation for Russia, the conflict in Georgia being an exception which should not be reproduced in the future".
Referring to the new US Administration plans for the Black Sea region, Mircea Geoana pointed out that a relative disappearance of this zone from the new American Administration's agenda would represent a mistake.

"We cannot but note the way the new American Administration seems to look at, over the Black Sea, Iraq and Afghanistan, where we all have serious and urgent issues to settle, but we think that a relative disappearance from the new American Administration's agenda of the Black Sea zone would represent a mistake and I think that our obligation is to reiterate the vital geopolitical importance of the Black Sea region and bring it into the attention of the new American Administration", stated Mircea Geoana.
PSD President attended the conference on the "European strategy for the Black Sea zone, in the context of European security and defence policy", event organized by Romania's Senate in cooperation with the Socialist Group in the European Parliament.
