EUROPEAN SECURITY CANNOT BE GUARANTEED WITHOUT RUSSIA - OSCE

The mission, delegated to the Organization for Security and Cooperation
in Europe, is to create trustful interstate relations in order to
guarantee European security, and Russia's role in this process is very
important, OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier said in an article,
published by the daily Kommersant on Tuesday.
The OSCE is working to put into life the idea of a free, democratic,
common and indivisible Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian security community
on the basis of the respect and common ground achieved, and regard
for the differences, he said.
As one of the main players in the OSCE region Russia must play a key
role in this process, Zannier writes.
Trust is the essence and pivotal point of the OSCE's activities.
Through trust can reconciliation be achieved between the member-states,
he said.
Trust-building as the groundwork for reconciliation is a must for
progress in the long drawn-out regional conflicts. The resumption of
the 5+2 talks on the Transdniestrian settlement thanks to Russia's
attention is a good example of this, he writes.
Facilitating the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and,
concurrently, making efforts to prevent further escalation of tensions,
is one more priority aspect, where the position of Russia and of
other key OSCE members coincide, Zannier said.
The Geneva discussions, launched after the August 2008 conflict in
Georgia, too, require Russia's active and constructive participation,
says Zannier.
