ROLUL CONVENŢIEI DE LA MONTREUX ÎN ASIGURAREA STABILITĂŢII REGIONALE.

The Russian-Ukrainian war that is currently destabilizing the east of the European continent has led the international community to recalibrate its focus on the maritime sector. The Black Sea has been a controversial area throughout history, with the riparian states considering necessary to develop measures to maintain regional peace and security. In 1936, the Montreux Convention was signed, with the aim of limiting security risks, Turkey being thus responsible for regulating transit through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. For a better understanding of the context, respectively of the international act signed in 1936, the article will present a brief description of the basic elements of the Convention, as well as the extent to which the Convention contributes to ensuring a balanced climate from a security point of view in the region in the context of Russian-Ukrainian war. The current research will be based on quantitative tools, aiming at both the analysis of the text of the international act, as well as the study and filtering of some elements of interest from the analyzes published in the national and international media.
