They have excellent bilateral relations, collaborating in a wide range of fields. Georgia is an important partner of Romania in the wider Black Sea area, while Romania is the most active European partner of Georgia, one of the strongest supporters of Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration. As part of the Southern Energy Corridor, both countries are very interested in the delivery of Caspian energy resources to Europe through projects that include them as transit countries. Although Nabucco has been for a long time the most important project for them, now-a-days, the realization of AGRI became the most important goal. The relations between these two countries are thus vital for the development of this energetic project.

Due to the rich oil reserves of the Caspian Sea basin and geostrategic importance of the Caucasus as a crossroad between Europe and Asia, this region has always constituted a pole of attraction for the great powers of the world after the collapse of USSR. Not only neighboring countries like Russia, Iran, Turkey and Central Asian states (Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan), but also the United States, European Union and China are becoming actively involved in this region. Thus, while Armenia has been allied with Russia and Iran, considering these two powers as a counterweight to Turkey -its main enemy in the region, Azerbaijan and Georgia have developed geostrategic alliance with Turkey, and the United States by promoting cooperation with NATO member countries. Moreover, the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh had deprived Armenia of the possibility of cooperation with other South Caucasian states. Armenia, which bases itself mainly on the relationship with Russia, believes that maintaining good relations with Iran is vital in terms of its national security, therefore, Armenia encourages active presence of Iran in the region. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which have developed geo-economic relations between them in course of time and expanded strategic partnership with Western democracies, particularly through the NATO alliance, put forth their best efforts in order to leave the sphere of influence of Russia.

The current policies aim for the development of some mutual insurances to cover the risks to which the ships are exposed to and, in particular, the crew which must be reimbursed in case of accidents. Currently, one of the biggest impediments standing in the way of the naval industry's progress on an international level is the lack of methods for determining risk levels. The volume of commercial activities and the pressure put on the market requires orientation towards new methods and techniques of risk administration, in other words the elaboration of a risk management plan, which, as professor Kuo also said, has the purpose of "maintaining and controlling risks and dangers between certain tolerance margins, to a practically negligible level". I consider that a coherent managerial plan must include techniques of identifying potential accidents and of analyzing risks, in order to improve the safety measures and to reduce the loss of human lives and also to increase the quality of decisions. The practice of an efficient management requires some quality standards to be set, which must be set progressively after a careful analysis of the organization and of the evolution perspectives. Therefore, synthetically, a system of safety management is based on going through the following steps: elaborating clear policies and safety objectives; planning concerning the development of action plans , with the determination of roles and the assignment of responsibilities; implementing the action plans and the methods; periodical evaluation, by comparing the results obtained with the objectives set; and last but not least, improving performance, by identifying malfunctions, periodical updating of the risk evaluation and by taking corrective measures.

The existence, almost daily of the speech which touches in a way or another the crisis problems, their situations in the most different institutions as well as the need to understand them, control and anticipate them, made that more and more political leaders, management specialists and practitioner of public relations, take charge of the "crisis management" or "crisis communication". Mass media has played a major part in the management of the crisis blown up in the presidential elections in 2009. The target of the present work is the all aspects analysis of this crisis and the way it has been handled by the media in 2009.
