Main Objectives for year 2020

Albania will continue the good work of the previous Chairmanships for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts within the OSCE space. Conflict resolution will be at the top of the Albanian agenda, of course, with special focus on the crisis in Ukraine and its surrounding regions, contributing to peaceful crisis resolution in Ukraine and its surrounding regions, which remains Europe’s most urgent security challenge.

Albania will continue to support the OSCE’s commitment to conflict resolution, backing up the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, in line with the Geneva International Discussions on the situation in Georgia, as well as the Transnistria Conflict Resolution Process. In addition, special attention will be paid to the non-escalation of the situation in Georgia, as well as to the process of resolving the Transnistria conflict.

Additionally, Albania will be committed to promote good governance and anti-corruption principles throughout the space covered by the Organization.

Albania will address the joint efforts by all participating countries of this organization, in view of the prevention of trafficking in human beings, as well as in fighting the culture of impunity in general.

The promotion of universality of human rights and fundamental freedoms will have a special priority for Albania in 2020.to.

A special role during the Albanian Chairmanship, defined as an inter-dimensional priority, will of course be played by the youth, , not only because Albania is a good example, or  based on the need for the youth to be treated as a future generation, but also as a generation that needs immediate attention and its role in society and institutions in general to be strengthened.

It is also worth noting that during the Albanian Chairmanship, special attention will be paid to strengthening the role of women internationally in peace processes.

We do all believe to a successful OSCE Chairmanship in 2020.
