December 5, 2012 - 18:28 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia hopes the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) will observe the interests of all
countries during Ukraine's presidency in 2013, Russian President
Vladimir Putin said.
"It is important to intensify coordination on the most essential
aspects of the organization's activities. Unfortunately, the current
state of affairs is not inspiring optimism. It is time the OSCE stopped
serving the interests of individual countries and focused on unifying
agendas," he said at a meeting of the Heads of State Council of the
Commonwealth of Independent States.
Ukraine will assume the rotating presidency of the OSCE in 2013,
he added.
"I hope Ukraine will take up this particular position during its
presidency of the OSCE in 2013," Interfax quoted Putin as saying.
