Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will meet with OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioglu in Moscow to discuss key issues surrounding the organization's role and its cooperation with Russia amidst ongoing challenges.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is set to hold talks with OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioglu in Moscow, according to TASS.
The discussions will focus on a range of issues concerning the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and its cooperation with Russia.
Sinirlioglu, who took office as OSCE Secretary General on December 6, 2024, will be visiting Russia for the first time in his new role. He succeeded Helga Schmid, with the previous OSCE Secretary General visiting Russia in 2021.
Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that the meeting will address both current matters related to the Secretary General’s mandate and the overall situation within the OSCE, which continues to face a significant institutional crisis, limiting its effectiveness in regional security.
While the OSCE is the leading platform for security discussions in Europe and Eurasia, Russia has expressed concerns that Western approaches are hindering the organization's ability to function properly. Lavrov has previously criticized the West’s actions for undermining the organization’s core principles, including consensus, and pushing Russophobic policies.
