Abstract: In this paper, I will demonstrate that the actions of cross-border organized crime networks (especially in the former Soviet Union) influence, from an economic point of view, the development of policies to combat transnational terrorism. The research starts from the idea that extremistterrorist organizations are criminal groups that have a specific organization, logistics, specific training and education systems that can function without material and financial resources. However, the impact of the actions taken by these entities is devastating on national/regional economic development. Consequently, one of the most effective ways to neutralize the actions of cross-border crime group /terrorist organizations is to combat the financing of these entities. Within the European Union (where Romania is a member), the main responsibility for combating the financing of terrorism lies with the member states.
