Today, 28 November 2023, the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD), Bulgaria in partnership with the New Strategy Center organized a workshop dedicated to countering hybrid threats associated with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and malign interference in the Black Sea region. The activity took place in a hybrid format and was organised in Sofia, Bulgaria with the participation of Romanian guests in an online format. Dr. Alina Bârgăoanu, Senior Associate Expert at the New Strategy Center, was a speaker at the event, with a series of interventions dedicated to analysing how hybrid threats are manifested in Romania and how they can be countered.

The two organisations have recently released a study on Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and malign interference in the Black Sea region which can be downloaded in English, Romanian or Bulgarian HERE.

At its core, a luxury mechanical watch is a triumph of micro-engineering. Imagine a universe contained within a diameter of 30 to 40 millimeters. Hundreds of tiny components—gears, levers, springs, and jewels—coexist in a perfectly orchestrated ballet.

The mainspring stores energy, releasing it with controlled grace through the gear train, its rhythm governed by the hypnotic swing of the balance wheel. This "heart" of the watch, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour or more, is a miracle of physics and precision.
