Romania’s New Security Geometry: B9 Post-Vilnius, Regional Solidarity and the North Atlantic Axis

Romania’s New Security Geometry: B9 Post-Vilnius, Regional Solidarity and the North Atlantic Axis


Romania’s foreign and security policy is in a moment of profound recalibration. The analysis proposed by Dott.ric. Cătălin-Gabriel Done is approaching the increasing fragmentation of regional cohesion on NATO’s eastern flank following the B9 summit in Vilnius and proposes a strategic repositioning of Romania around a consolidated North Atlantic axis—alongside the US, Poland, and the Nordic countries.

The document examines:

  • The Decline of Cohesion in the B9 Format and the implications for regional policy;
  • Romania’s opportunity to become a regional security provider within NATO;
  • The need for strategic reform of foreign partnerships, with a focus on bilateral relations with the US and the countries;
  • Defence priorities: air defence, military mobility, dual-use infrastructure and industrial co-production;
  • The role of the Three Seas Initiative and an active foreign policy in the new European security architecture.
