The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will no longer be able to take into account Russia’s consent during its activities on the territory of the Ukrainian state. Therefore, the so-called Moscow Mechanism will be applied.
The OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) is now present in Ukraine without the consent of the Russian Federation. This is what the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, OSCE Chairman-in-Office Zbigniew Rau said at a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday, August 2.
“I must be completely honest with you that our presence in Ukraine will now continue without the support of Russia, without the agreement or consent of Russia. And this means that we have to change the legal and financial mechanisms for carrying out of our activities, which means that we have created and Ensured our presence here in Ukraine, in Kyiv. It has been discussed, the decision about it has been made in accordance with some resolutions from the current leader and other members,” he said.
According to him, the OSCE has reached a specific agreement with the Ukrainian government regarding the activities in Kyiv.
“This also means that we can organize related activities for some extra-budgetary resources. This was decided by the OSCE Secretary General,” explained Rau.
The representative of the organization also pointed out the need to understand that considering all the activities of the OSCE on the territory of Ukraine, Russia’s consent cannot be relied upon.
“However, the OSCE has many different mechanisms that allow us to avoid or circumvent the principle of consensus. We have already mentioned the Moscow Mechanism, which we currently use and, in fact, have used it twice. If the situation requires it, we will use this mechanism more often. “, he summarized.
Remember, on August 2, Zbigniew Rau arrived on a visit to Ukraine.
In addition, Rau and OSCE Secretary General Helga Maria Schmid visited Bucha.
