The European Union exercises the foreign policy in a very complex institutional setting, difficult to conceptualize as an instrument and as a competence, but also as a highly fragmented policy. For more than sixty-five years, researchers and experts try to compare the European integration with existing models, demonstrating that the European Union is a special political system and suggesting a new concept of international relations that changes the traditional way of defining foreign policy. By the concept of “European Union´s foreign policy system” we mean the totality of the institutions which determine the development and implementation of foreign policy on behalf of the EU, in a decentralized and multilateral way. EU member states are the most important actors of the system and European institutions such as the European Commission, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the European External Action Service - exert influence on the process of developing and implementing European foreign policy.

In this study the authors address an actual subject, in particular, in practical terms. Contemporary democratic states, characterized by pluripartidism and pluralism, including ideologically often face crises of the political and of the social relations system caused by the inability of the elected people to create coalitions of government. Different forms of democratic governance, different models of governing coalitions: majority, minority, pragmatic are analyzed. Based on the results of parliamentary elections in several European countries, including: Germany, Italy, Republic of Moldova, the authors deduce the peculiarities of the majority, minority, pragmatic coalitions. In conclusion, the model of a pragmatic coalition, created on the basis of a common interest, of clear objectives for both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary political parties is described. Is relates the dialectic model of party interests, community interests and nationalstate interest. On the basis of dialectical unity, for a moment or a longer period, the parliamentary parties, supported by an impressive number of voters, stand out from what distinguishes them, adopt a unanimously acceptable decision not to return to specifics and to work in the interest of the community and of the national-state.

The paper examines the criteria for determining the boundaries of the historically established “informal region” - the Mediterranean, and the place of the North-Western Black Sea region, in particular, Moldavia, in this region. The culture of the region has both absorbed the features of the culture of the peoples of the Mediterranean and the Black and Azov Seas coastal parts associated directly with it, and had a huge impact not only on the adjacent territories, but sometimes on the whole world. Speaking about the Mediterranean, first of all, they have in mind the peculiarities of nature, which appear, however, in such a vast region with varying degrees of clarity and intensity. Repeated changes of cultural, political and economic leadership in the region have created a multi-layered nature of its culture. One of the connecting threads that tie together heterogeneous parts of the region together has been and remains migrations in ancient times associated with colonization (Phoenician, Greek, Roman), later with territorial conquests, geopolitical associations and, finally, with economic and cultural interactions between different countries and their mutual influence. The paper also discusses the historical role of the rivers of the Mediterranean-Black Sea basin in the spread of the Mediterranean civilization. The North-Western Black Sea Coast is a natural and integral part of the Mediterranean-Black Sea region, which in its nature, culture and economy combines Mediterranean features with the characteristics of the territories covering this region from the north. This is determined not only by geographical location and nature, but also by the fact that in the course of history the North-Western Black Sea region, including Moldavia, was part of various large geopolitical structures, experiencing very heterogeneous influences.
