Commissioner Brunner wishes to engage directly in the security challenges faced by Romania, which is a key pillar of the European security architecture.

We have much to learn from Romania, which successfully protects its external borders and counters hybrid threats from Russia, including disinformation campaigns and drone incursions. In response, the Commission will launch the European Democracy Shield this year and the European Defense Initiative against drones next year. The Commission is making an additional 250 million euros available for civilian drones and drone countermeasures – the statement says.(19.10.2025)
