The OSCE Secretary General opposed the exclusion of Russia from the organization

OSCE Secretary General Helga Schmid spoke out against the alleged exclusion of Russia from the organization. Schmid stated that she believes that the continued membership of the Russian Federation in the organization is beneficial for the OSCE. At the same time, she added that membership in one organization does not oblige to "exchange diplomatic courtesies."

The OSCE Secretary General assumes that sooner or later there will be a need for negotiating channels, and the organization she leads is the only structure within which representatives of all European countries can discuss security issues.



Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, known for his odious statements, predicted self-destruction for the OSCE if Russia remained in its composition.

And according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Western countries have turned the OSCE negotiating platform into an arena for propaganda battles, which led the organization to a state of deepest crisis. A significant role in this was played by the chairmanship in 2022 of the organization of representatives of Poland, under whose leadership the efficiency of work within the OSCE negotiating platform dropped to almost zero. Lavrov stressed that the reason for this was the radical anti-Russian sentiment in the Polish government.

The Polish side had previously denied Lavrov's participation in the OSCE meeting in Lodz at the level of foreign ministers of the participating countries. The Russian Foreign Ministry called this step provocative and unprecedented, also adding that the Polish representatives are destroying all the foundations that exist in the OSCE. A corresponding request was sent to representatives of all OSCE participating countries.

    There is nothing for Russia to do in the OSCE. You can invite Russians for negotiations to any platform, as long as there is a desire. With the persistence of a sadomasochist, ours sit in organizations where they pour slops on us for our money. As soon as the West is ready for negotiations, the format and place can be agreed on any

      In general, it would be high time to think about reformatting another international parasitic organization into an organization without rights and obligations for the participation of any countries of the world, whenever they please.
      Meetings shall be held exclusively remotely and without any obligation to implement the decisions taken at them.

      Someone will ask - “Why is it possible?”, “Of course, we can answer, because there is no point in this organization for a long time, and the costs of conducting them and the salaries of the employees there can be usefully spent on sick children, the homeless and the elderly.”

      It's time to transfer this shop called "OSCE" to a distance and not waste money and time on it. hi

    OSCE Secretary General Helga Schmid spoke out against the alleged exclusion of Russia from the organization.

    But this is already a symptom, such that all symptoms are a symptom - in Europe, an understanding began to sprout and where the wind is blowing, and what this wind will bring. Good news.

      Yes, this symptom will be cured quickly. And so she cares more about membership fees than about the fate of the world

      And how many problems can be solved for this money - about 2 million dollars?
      In general, this is a penny for the Russian Federation ....

    "Schmid stated that she believes that the continuation of the membership of the Russian Federation in the organization is beneficial for the OSCE"

    Of course, after all, the exit of the Russian Federation from this organization makes it impossible for this office to exist, there is the Council of Europe for this. There is nothing to do in the OSCE RF.

    If we leave the OSCE ourselves, then the OSCE will sharply improve its hearing and vision. Belarus will remain there as brothers.

    . And according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Western countries have turned the OSCE negotiating platform into an arena for propaganda battles

    Of all organizations, including WHO and the Olympics, they made a platform for battles

    I can’t remember a single positive thought, or any useful and constructive decision, what would come out of this organization.

    And, of course, it's about money. For the general sponsor (well, one of))) the main Russophobic organization in Europe is, lo and behold! the Russian Federation itself.
    So no exception - we have to pay.

    If only from our country to receive contributions and you can continue to insult and hate us.
    But where are ours looking? You can leave this gathering for a long time. When they want to talk, then you can do it anyway, why keep useless officials?
