OSCE foreign ministers hold talks in High Tatras

How to guarantee stability in Europe and beyond its borders and how to draw lessons from past conflicts and choose ways of preventing them -- these issues are high on the agenda of plenary talks taking place within an informal meeting of foreign affairs ministers from Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) countries in Strbske Pleso on Tuesday. The event is being hosted by Slovak Foreign Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajcak, who is also the OSCE chairperson-in-Office. "First, all the tools we need are available to us, but we lack the political will to use them correctly. Secondly, the multilateral architecture is comprehensive and changing, and we must review the OSCE's role in it. Thirdly, people in conflict locations are watching us and expecting solutions from us," said Lajcak when summarising his three main messages at the event.
