Italy considers eastern Ukraine conflict settlement as priority of its OSCE chairmanship

The settlement of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine is one of the main priorities of Italy’s OSCE chairmanship.

“The search for a sustainable solution to the crisis in and around Ukraine is among the main priorities of the Italian OSCE Chairmanship,” Italian Foreign Minister, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Enzo Moavero Milanesi said in his first address to the OSCE Permanent Council.

According to him, “the sides have to assume their responsibility, based on full respect of the ceasefire and on a relaunch of the political process within the Trilateral Contact Group and the Normandy format.”

Italy assumed OSCE chairmanship in January 2018.
