SUBJECT: ROMANIA PROPOSES POST-CONFLICT TRAINING CENTER, 
OTHER BLACK SEA PROJECTS 
 
REF: 07 BUCHAREST 0143 
 
1. (SBU)  Summary:  Political Director Stefan Tinca briefed 
NATO and EU member state embassies on April 8 on the GOR's 
renewed proposal for a post-conflict reconstruction training 
center in Romania.  He also discussed Romania's broader 
strategy for the Black Sea Region following the successful 
NATO Summit, which emphasized "soft security" projects in 
support of civil society, the environment, emergency 
management, migration, and education. The Turkish 
representative sharply criticized Tinca's proposal to 
resuscitate the Black Sea Forum in 2009 at the ministerial 
level.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU)  MFA Director General for Political Affairs Stefan 
Tinca invited NATO and EU member state embassies on April x 
to preview plans for a Training Center in Romania dedicated 
to post-conflict stabilization and reconstruction and as well 
as "new developments" in Romania's approach to the Black Sea 
Region.  Tinca was joined by MFA Policy Planning Director 
Olivia Todorean and Harry Bucu, who will be heading up the 
Training Center project. Bucu pointed out that Romania 
dropped the "European" part of the title to focus on training 
for Romanians, although the program would be open to all 
European and Atlantic partners. (Note: We first reported on 
this concept as presented by Tinca's predecessor in reftel. 
End note.)  Bucu said that Romania would launch the project 
on a pilot basis in September, and would seek guidance from 
those countries that already have experience in this area. 
When Romania was considering a PRT in Afghanistan, Tinca 
explained, it soon became clear that the non-military 
ministries were not prepared for this type of deployment. 
Bucu said the second stage of the initiative would be to host 
a Post-Conflict Reconstruction Conference in January 2009; 
Romania would also be looking for co-organizers from Allied 
and Partner countries. Bucu said the final stage would be the 
actual opening of the Training Center. It would not only 
conduct training, but also raise public awareness of the 
importance of post-conflict reconstruction operations, 
research and study. The initiative would also promote more 
internal coordination and interagency cooperation within the 
GOR so that the training center would be truly 
inter-disciplinary. "Romania wants to find its niche in this 
area," Bucu explained, adding that an inter-agency working 
group with MFA, MOD and Interior representatives had already 
been formed.  "We need to broaden out to the other 
ministries," he added.  The Center itself would have both a 
Board of Trustees to oversee the training and study 
activities, and an independent board of academic advisors to 
ensure high academic standards and to help build networks 
with other international training centers. 
 
3.  (SBU)  On the broader front of Romania's regional Black 
Sea policy, Tinca highlighted Romania's "soft security" 
orientation.  The GOR's immediate goals included hosting this 
fall a forum for Black Sea regional civil society groups and 
facilitating the development of a Black Sea Environmental 
Partnership Program.  Tinca was quick to point out that 
Romania would play a limited role on the latter initiative, 
seeking to focus NGO and civil society attention on common 
environmental concerns in the region, with the hope that 
donors like the World Bank would step in to provide support. 
On the civil society component, Tinca stated that one 
possible program would be for the MFA to work with civil 
society groups to identify ways to support priorities gleaned 
from the NATO Summit Declaration. Other possible projects for 
2009 or later included the development of an 
interdisciplinary Masters Degree program for Black Sea 
universities to focus on renewable energy strategies, and 
regional fora on migration and civil emergency planning, with 
an emphasis on critical infrastructure risks. 
 
4. (SBU) Finally, Tinca said that Romania was exploring 
options for a follow-up to the Summit of the Black Sea Forum 
for Dialogue and Partnership, including the possibility of 
holding a "Gymnich-styled" informal ministerial-level meeting 
that would operate on "well-known principles of variable 
geometry so as not to duplicate existing institutions, 
structures, or arrangements." (Note: this part of the 
presentation clearly irritated the Turkish DCM who labeled 
the Forum a "waste of time" that failed to meet the standards 
for "inclusiveness, regional ownership, and transparency." 
end note.)  Tinca underscored that this concept was still in 
the idea stage, and the briefing itself was part of the 
consultation process. 
 
5. (SBU)  Comment:  Romania has gotten the message about 
focusing its attention more on soft security issues in the 
 
BUCHAREST 00000290  002 OF 002 
 
 
Black Sea region.  Turkey, skeptical as always about 
Romania's aspirations, cast a shadow over the briefing in 
vocally challenging Bucharest's advocacy for another 
senior-level Black Sea Forum.  Still there are some 
opportunities here for the U.S. to assist Romania in keeping 
on task, including in supporting the post-conflict training 
center initiative.  Finally, the briefing made clear that 
following a successful NATO summit, Bucharest is ready to 
take another run at playing an active role in promoting Black 
Sea regional cooperation.  End comment.
