Russia regrets that some Western partners do not want to maintain the very strong candidature of Belarus for the OSCE leadership. This was said by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the results of the informal OSCE ministerial meeting.
"We regret that some of our Western partners do not want to categorically ensure balanced management level organization, by a very strong candidate, which Belarus has put forward. Their representative in Vienna is Madame [Helena] Kupchina. We believe she is a very strong candidate."
Lavrov also stressed that the preservation of the "vacuum" in that capacity "is not conducive to effective steps of the OSCE."; "But discrimination against countries that are east of Vienna, above all, the CIS countries, for appointment to senior positions - a phenomenon that should be overcome. In private conversations, the vast majority of my colleagues agree with this", - concluded the Minister.
