‘Protracted conflicts are of key importance to OSCE’
Baku, April 13 (AzerTAc). Protracted conflicts are of key importance to the OSCE, and efforts to resolve them are crucial to unity among the Organization`s 56 participating States, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite told the OSCE Permanent Council.
Grybauskaite said there were opportunities to bring progress in the Transdniestrian conflict settlement process. She also said she would use a visit next month to the South Caucasus to encourage confidence-building measures, and called on all sides to invest in such measures.
She emphasized the importance of dialogue and co-operation in dealing with challenges such as protracted conflicts, cybercrime and terrorism. “It is important to be all the time together and finding joint solutions,” she said. “We will address risks and challenges we face only if we do it together.”
