Ensuring Energy Security in the Republic of Moldova in the Context of Global Challenges

Abstract

In this article author refers to the main energy security threats in the Republic of Moldova in the context of global challenges, because energy security obtained new meanings and became one of the strategic problem for this country. For these reasons, an important direction of foreign policy is the perspective of providing energy security, which includes: the availability of pipelines and terminals, future routes for pipelines, partnerships etc. Therefore, energy resources such as natural gas, oil and electricity are no longer a problem of geologists, economists and technicians only, they become more of a course of foreign policy, with the energy factor often being used as an implementation mechanism of certain geopolitical and geostrategic interests.
