The Supreme Security Council (Romanian: Consiliul Suprem de Securitate, CSS) is an advisory body to the President of Moldova (concurrently the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Moldovan Armed Forces) which aides and assists the President in the implementation of military policy and national security decisions.[1][2] Its authority is vested in the Constitution of Moldova. The President is one of many permanent members of the council and chairs all of its meetings. Permanent members of the council since October 2009[3] have included the following:[4][5]
- Maia Sandu, President of the SSC, President of Moldova
- Ana Revenco, Secretary of the SSC, National Security and Defense Advisor to the President
- Igor Grosu, President of the Parliament
- Natalia Gavrilița, Prime Minister of Moldova
- Anatolie Nosatîi, Minister of Defense
- Ana Revenco, Minister of Internal Affairs
- , Director of the Security and Intelligence Service
- Alexandr Stoianoglo, Prosecutor General of Moldova
- Octavian Armașu, Governor of the National Bank
- Veaceslav Negruța, Economic Advisor to the President
- Lilian Carp, Member of Parliament, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for National Security, Defense and Public Order
- , Deputy Governor of the National Bank
Whenever the new composition of the CSS is officiated, the president signs a decree to appoint them as council members. Other non-permanent members such as parliamentary faction leaders and intellectuals are also invited to attend.[6] The composition was most recently changed in June 2019 by President Igor Dodon following the constitutional crisis that occurred.[7][8]
In wartime, the CSS is renamed to the Supreme Council on Defense, to which the president chairs the council in their position as Supreme Commander-in-Chief.[9]
