Dear Colleagues,Dear Friends!
After 22 years of service within the Border Guard
Service, I made a decision to retire, which was not so easy for me.
These years have been sometimes difficult, but surely
rewarding in the professional and personal level. Together with you I witnessed
of the creation and development of the Border Guard to which I dedicated myself
completely, and unfortunately sometimes at the expense of my family.
I tried to be a good officer, a good colleague, a good
teacher and a good father. I'm sure I succeeded
in all.
In recent years and especially since 2005, I gave all
diligence in promoting reforms in the Integrated Border Management System and
the Border Guard Service. At the initial stage we managed a lot, but there were
failures, which did not quite depend on us. Mainly what we managed has been to
strengthen our staff for changing attitudes and perception in the role and
position of the Border Guard Service in the system of National Security and
directly in the field of Integrated Border Management, in particular the
transition from the state border protection (military aspect) to protect legal
provision and provide services to citizens while performing duties at the
border. In this respect, the result of this work is enormous because of you
dear border colleagues, which to me are close family- a big united family and I
sincerely hope that you will extend those wonderful traditions which the Border
Service has had over the years.
A special role in this have had and I can certainly
say so - my colleagues and my friends - EU experts within Frontex Agency, EUBAM
Mission, Border Guard Services of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and other European Union member
states. Because of them were possible those achievements which the Border Guard
Service has had, and those achievements which I’ve personally gained. I would
not pass without saying about the great role that our partners from the United
States of America have had, in
particularly the Chisinau Embassy representatives and those of U.S. government
agencies.
In all the years I’ve had the opportunity and honor to
have close to me colleagues and friends from the civil society - Foreign Policy
Association, IDIS Viitorul, Institute for Public Policy, European Institute of
Political Studies and others. We tried to establish a partnership relationship
as well as friendship relations, which to me means a lot and contributed to my
formation.
The reform process through which the Service goes
through is sometimes contradictory. For this reason I have decided to retire.
Not that I was scared of these reforms (I was the one who promoted them), but I
cannot agree with the approach that the current leadership of MIA has, those
who have strongly stated in December 2009 - January 2010 that they will never
be "cops". In my opinion it is premature to pass the Border Guard
Service under the subordination of MIA (Ministry of Police), institution which
is not reformed, has not abolished the consequences of events from April 2009
and is the state institution which has the lowest confidence among the
population. This is the result of not willing to promote radical reforms in home
affairs area, political involvement and promotion of political and personal
interests of those who govern us.
I do not want to finish this post on a sad note. I am
convinced that in the future there will be tangible results in the reform
process, at least I wish. I do not leave permanently from BGS, I will continue
to contribute in other ways to reforms and service development. I remain a
member of this team, and nobody, no matter how much he wishes and tries will
not exclude from the great family of Border Guards.
Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding!
With deep respect,
Rosian Vasiloi,
Retired colonel of Border Guard Service.
