OSCE Chairman-in-Office said the OSCE is well-placed to assist in the implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
"The UN and the OSCE are joined together by their determination to strengthen rules based on the respect for human rights and on co-operation in matters relating to security among states and their societies,â€ he said.
On Kosovo, the Chairman-in-Office emphasized the Organization’s readiness to continue work there, whatever the outcome of an eventual status settlement.
"We are ready to stay in Kosovo in order to focus on monitoring protection of rights of communities, particularly in regards to decentralization and the protection of cultural and religious sites," he said.

He also underlined the Spanish Chairmanship’s priority to address the region’s unresolved disputes, including the Georgian-Ossetian, Nagorno-Karabakh and Transdniestrian conflicts, and the importance of continuing negotiations.
"It will not be enough to have signatures on official documents and treaties; we need to work to overcome distrust and to build platforms for dialogue and understanding,â€ he said.
