Speaking about European Unionâ€™s priorities Dimitrij Rupel noted that Kosovo remained as much a concern today as in 2005, when Slovenia held the OSCE’s Chairmanship and Minister Rupel was the Organization’s Chairman-in-Office and said the Organization should continue its important work in Kosovo. He also touched on the elections in OSCE area this year. Minister Rupel said the EU strongly supports the OSCE’s election-observation work and called on all OSCE participating States to enable the Organization’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights "to observe their elections without restriction, in accordance with established practice and in line with the spirit of their commitments."
