Against the backdrop of the ongoing Ukraine war and the far-reaching changes in the post-Soviet space, the interest of Austrian and German media in the expertise of the Black Sea Region Competence Center has recently increased significantly. This is all the more true since it has become increasingly clear that the Ukraine war goes along with a geopolitical conflict of global dimensions and that Russia’s hegemonic interests are not limited to Ukraine. There has been particularly strong interest recently in our expertise on Moldova. Follow our recent media contributions on this website under „Media Contributions„.
