OSCE: no significant progress in Karabakh process
"Despite the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group and CiO's Special Envoy Josep Borrell the sides in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict failed to fix progress," OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos told the UN General Assembly.
"Unfortunately, signatures on official documents are not enough. Distrust should be subdued and dialogue between the sides established," he said.
As to Georgia, cooperation between the UN and OSCE is essential for stabilization, according to him.
When commenting on the Kosovo problem, Mr Moratinos said the Organization should proceed with its work irrespective of the status decision. "We are ready to maintain presence in Kosovo for human rights monitoring, especially for protection of religious and cultural facilities," he said, IA Regnum reports.
