Political scientist Radu Albu Comănescu warns that global powers could alter Eastern Europe's geopolitical balance without input from regional states like Romania.

Political scientist Radu Albu Comănescu has warned that major global powers could potentially reach geopolitical agreements that reshape Eastern Europe's security structure without consulting regional nations. In an interview with Romanian news outlet Adevărul, Comănescu highlighted the risk of a "new Yalta" scenario, referring to historical power pacts that divided spheres of influence across the continent. According to the analyst, the primary danger facing countries like Romania may not manifest as immediate open conflict, but rather through subtle shifts in diplomatic balance and strategic concessions made by major international actors. He emphasized the necessity for regional diplomatic vigilance to prevent middle-power nations from being excluded from key decision-making processes regarding European stability.
