The issue was discussed in the talk show “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.

Expert in security issues Rosian Vasiloi said it is good that a dialogue is initiated between the three countries. “I hope a lot that particular cooperation mechanisms in the security sector will be developed as a result of this dialogue as we face many common risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Unilaterally, it is very hard to cope with these vulnerabilities. It is good that there is a start. We should discuss these subjects, but should be very pragmatic as we have many common points that we should develop and there should be reciprocal support between the three states,” stated the expert.
