Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction and the EU accession efforts of that country and of the Republic of Moldova are among the topics discussed in Bucharest in a forum devoted to security challenges at the Black Sea and in the Balkans. The 2-day event comprises over 40 sessions, attended by senior civilian and military officials, diplomats and experts from the European Union and NATO, as well as partner states. Attending the event, PM Nicolae Ciucă pleaded for a strengthened NATO presence at the Black Sea, where free maritime and air traffic are jeopardised by Russia’s threats.
