Experts consider that the draft National Security Strategy does not provide solutions to the risks that endanger Moldova’s security. According to them, the adoption of the strategy two months before the elections spares the present and the future governments from responsibility for the implementation of the document, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The military dangers are not defined though we know that they exist. The strategy is useful neither to the army, nor the Border Guard Service or the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The areas are enumerated, but the institutions that should insure their security are not,” Iurie Pantea, expert of the Public Policy Institute, told a roundtable meeting. According to him, in the present form the strategy is more like a political document for external use. The Government aims only to carry out the task of formulating the strategy. Yet, no one will be responsible for its implementation. Logically, the security strategy should be adopted by the future Government, security experts say. “I don’t understand why this strategy is being adopted in such a hurry, only two months before the elections. This responsibility should be shifted onto the next Government that will be in power during 2009-2013,” said Vlad Lupan, independent public relations expert. The experts expressed concern that their opinions will be ignored as it happened when adopting the conception used to formulate the draft security strategy. The draft strategy was debated at a roundtable meeting held at the NATO Information and Documentation Center in Chisinau on January 14. The National Security Strategy was drafted on the basis of the national security conception approved by the Parliament on May 22, 2008. On December 31, 2008, the Government published the draft strategy on its website (www.gov.md) for public debates. Proposals can be submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration by January 19.
