Matti Anttonen: OSCE should advance towards progress in settlement of conflicts

"It is necessary to continue a constructive dialogue and deepen measures to build trust between the parties to the conflicts in the OSCE space," Deputy Foreign Minister of Finland Matti Anttonen said, speaking at the OSCE Ministrial meeting in Bratislava.

"We should advance towards the settlement of protracted conflicts in the OSCE space, including in Moldova, Georgia and Nagorno-Karabakh. This is what the main mandate of OSCE provides for," he said.

Stressing the need to continue a constructive dialogue and deepen measures to build trust between the parties to the conflict, he said it should, however, respond to the present-day realities and challenges.
