Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, stated that the decision to locate the European Maritime Security Hub in the Black Sea belongs to the EU member states, while also emphasizing the Commission's support for Romania in this endeavor. The response came following a request from MEP Victor Negrescu, who highlighted the strong arguments for hosting the hub in Romania. This center would serve to monitor and protect critical maritime infrastructure, contributing to the development of the EU's maritime capabilities in the context of the geopolitical challenges posed by the war in Ukraine.
Victor Negrescu emphasized the importance of the Black Sea as a sensitive geopolitical region and pointed out that Romania has strong arguments to become the host of this hub, including its long border with Ukraine and its role in demining activities. He urged the European Commission to support this initiative, which aligns with the new priorities of the EU in the field of security and defense.
