Black Sea strategy debated January 19, 2006 / Berlin



A group of 90 foreign policy officials, thinkers, and journalists, gathered on January 19 in Berlin for a panel discussion, "Towards a European Strategy for the Wider Black Sea Region."

The German Marshall Fund and the Romanian Embassy to Germany organized the event, which featured the arguments of Ovidiu Dranga, political director of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Jörg Himmelreich, GMF Senior Transatlantic Fellow. The panel was moderated by Clemens Wergin, foreign policy editor at Der Tagesspiegel.

Dranga presented the idea of the Romanian government about the Black Sea Forum as a format that offers all states of the region and NGOs a platform for regional cooperation in infrastructure, trade and other issues of regional concern. Himmelreich preferred an initiative of interested EU members and neighboring states for a Black Sea Stability Pact, much like the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, where the EU and the littoral states of the Wider Black Sea region can build upon the experience the EU has earned by fostering the regional cooperation in the Balkans.
