The fate of the OSCE Baku office remains unclear. "Ukraine's position is simple and logical. We believe that the determination of the OSCE status is the right of the host country. However, the OSCE is and team spirit," said at a press conference in Baku the OSCE chairman, Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Leonid Kozhara, responding to a question about the future status of the OSCE Office in Baku.
In the spring of this year, official Baku is suggested to low the status of the OSCE to the level of the coordinator of the project of the organization, depriving it of monitoring functions. A number of members of the OSCE and, in particular, the United States did not agree with it.
Noting the "constructive" position of Azerbaijan, Kozhara added: "I hope that very soon decisions will be taken to satisfy Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani people." –03C06--
