. 64. Risks with low probability, but major impact remain of interest for national security: military confrontations of low intensity, but persistent in time, migration flows generated by natural disasters, pandemics, ecologic disasters. 3.3. Vulnerabilities 65. The ability of the state institutions to assess and diminish the impact of risks and threats is limited by the persistence of some vulnerability in: absorption of European funds, using public funds, energy, critical infrastructure, agriculture, environment protection, justice, health, education and scientific research. The inexistence of a real multiannual budget planning to determine taking the responsibility for and fulfillment of some investment programs has negative effects, including in relation to increasing the capabilities of the armed forces and following commitments regarding military expenditure. 66. The ability of the central and local administration to implement national and European public policies represents another vulnerability. 67. The inter‐institutional reaction in crisis situations is altered by the insecurity of resources and the incoherence in managing various types of risks. This vulnerability becomes even more important if we refer to the interoperability ability of various state institutions which must take actions should any asymmetric or hybrid threats occur. 68. Corruption makes the state vulnerable, generates prejudices to economy and alters the country's development potential, the governance in good conditions, the decision‐making process in the best interest of the citizens and of the community, as well as the confidence in justice and state institutions. Externally, the persistence of corruption has negative impact upon credibility and our country's image. 69. Other vulnerabilities derive from exclusion and social polarization, the poverty degree, the demographic fall, migration of the specialized work force, the socio‐economic disparities between regions and counties, the fragility of the spirit and the civic solidarity. 16
