| Summary/Abstract |
THE OSCE SUMMIT IN ASTANA (Kazakhstan) held after an 11-year break was undoubtedly a significant event in the recent life of the Organization. In the final analysis, the very fact of a meeting between Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian heads of state and government aimed at restoring the culture of political dialogue within the OSCE and setting political guidelines for further progress was very important.
Much of the credit for this goes to Kazakhstan. Such a large-scale event could hardly have taken place under any other Chairmanship. The OSCE participating states have paid tribute to a country which in the 19 years of its existence has made impressive progress in all areas of its national development and has successfully borne the burden of directing a number of large international organizations.

| Summary/Abstract |
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."
