Словакия принимает председательство в ОБСЕ на 2019 год

Словакия взяла на себя председательство в Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе (ОБСЕ) на 2019 год. Министр иностранных дел и по делам Европы Словакии Мирослав Лайчак стал исполняющим обязанности председателя этой организации.

The Slovak Chairmanship will focus on three areas for action in 2019: preventing, mediating and mitigating conflict while focusing on the people it affects; providing for a safer future; and promoting effective multilateralism. Lajcak will present Slovakia's priorities to the OSCE Permanent Council on 10 January in Vienna.

Словацкое председательство сосредоточит свое внимание на трех направлениях в 2019 году: предотвращение, посредничество и смягчение конфликтов при уделении особого внимания людям, которых они затрагивают; обеспечение более безопасного будущего; и содействие эффективной многосторонности. Лайчак представит приоритеты Словакии Постоянному совету ОБСЕ 10 января в Вене.

Последнее десятилетие было трудным для ОБСЕ, а некоторые даже ставили под сомнение само существование этой организации. Она получила новую жизнь после того, как сыграла роль в стабилизации ситуации на востоке Украины, когда там в 2014 году разгорелись боевые действия. В настоящее время она развертывает крупную и дорогостоящую миссию по мониторингу на востоке Украины.

В течение своего годичного срока во главе ОБСЕ Словакия будет уделять приоритетное внимание усилиям по предотвращению возникновения новых конфликтов, одновременно смягчая гуманитарные последствия существующих.

"В целом, Словакия посвятит свое председательство тому, чтобы приблизить ОБСЕ к людям, на которых она работает. Мы полны решимости содействовать учету гендерной проблематики во всей работе ОБСЕ. И мы стремимся улучшить безопасность и защиту людей", - сказал Лайчак в послании, опубликованном перед началом его председательства. "Словацкое председательство в ОБСЕ в 2019 году будет стремится быть амбициозным в продвижении диалога, доверия и стабильности в регионе ОБСЕ, а также в поддержании нормального функционирования организации. Но мы также должны быть реалистами: есть в изобилии проблемы и сложности. Любое дальнейшее ухудшение в сфере безопасности и для жизней людей в наших обществах неоправданны", - сказал словацкий министр.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
