| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE PAST YEAR, 2009, has, without exaggeration, become very special for the OSCE a period of rethinking the situation in the European security system and the Organization's role and place in the maintenance of stability and the development of cooperation in the Euro-Atlantic region.
Symbolically, for the first time in a long period of the CSCE/OSCE's existence, the foreign ministers of 56 member states met twice at an informal meeting on the Greek island of Corfu (June 27-28) and at a session of the Ministerial Council in Athens (December 1-2). Previously, that only happened in 1991 and 1992, when Europe was going through another period of change. As Russian Foreign Minister S.V. Lavrov justly noted, "it seems that the time has come for Europe to change." |
