March 22, 2014 | 12:49
The OSCE mission will not have a mandate to work in Crimea and
Sevastopol, Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
On Friday the Permanent Council of the OSCE decided to deploy a
Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and
Swiss Foreign Minister, Didier Burkhalter said Consensus on the
mandate could be reached due to the readiness of all participating
states to continue dialogue and search for compromise even under
difficult circumstances.
However, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the mandate reflects new
political realities and "will not work in Crimea and Sevastopol that
have become a part of Russia", RIA Novosti reported.
The decision provides for deployment of 100 international observers in
Kyiv and nine other cities in the east and south of Ukraine, Russian
Foreign Ministry said.
