    Russia says OSCE mission has no Crimea mandate

    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.
