Abstract: Intermediate Region Concept enlarges geopolitical analytic frame for Mediterranean region in order to valorize historical role of the Mediterranean civilization, as well as its essential role: building bridges between civilisations. Regional security depends on interaction with explosive internal risks and between them: organized crime and a new form of „mercenary business” as dominating risks. Geoeconomic and geopolitical dimension of these threats make them undoubtedly more complex and deadlier than the unconvincingly defined terrorist threat whose peril is inversely proportional to the media and political passion they generate.
