By Lucia Ovidia Vreja
This chapter argues that Southeastern Europe is a major transit route for the terrorists as well as organized criminals, including human and drug traffickers. The paper specifically discusses the link between organized crime and terrorist activities in the context of Romania. The author argues that since the communist era, Romania has been home to a sizeable community of Arabs, some of whom are suspected of financing or having links to terrorist organizations in their countries of origin.
