The report of head of Croatian delegation Tonino Pitsula will be listened at the meeting of Committee on Political issues and security. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict and role of OSCE PA in its settlement is touched in the report. The report says that The OSCE can claim a lead role in addressing issues within the four phases of the conflicts: “Early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation. All political efforts must be taken within OSCE for the settlement of unresolved conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh, as well as in Moldova and Georgia. Leaders of the countries directly involved in these conflicts have a special responsibility in the respective peace processes, but they clearly need continuous support and assistance from the international community. the OSCE is the place for this. The OSCE PA also hasa role to play through Working Groups and Special Representatives in keeping these conflicts high on the agenda, fostering dialogue and their resolution. Each of the protracted conflicts deserves our full engagement, but especially worrying are increased tensions around the Nagorno Karabakh”.

More than 250 parliamentarians from member countries will participate in the session.
