Black Swans in the Black Sea – Ben Hodges, George Scutaru

In an international environment marked by unpredictability, such an initiative aimed at bringing attention to a range of scenarios that could affect the security of the Black Sea region and Europe is particularly important. Avoiding strategic surprises must remain a constant top priority on the agenda of political and military leadership, intelligence agencies, and think tanks. The Black Sea region is a vital space for the security of the EU and NATO, and precisely for this reason, considering possible future events helps us be better prepared in the event of future crises. – Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference
