Slovak FM: we raised issue of Georgia chairing OSCE

Slovak Foreign Affairs Minister Juraj Blanár on Monday said Slovakia has raised the issue of Georgia becoming the chair country of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

In his remarks at a joint briefing with his Georgian counterpart Maka Botchorishvili, Blanár noted that Georgia was capable of making a significant contribution to regional and international security.

“We raised the issue of Georgia becoming the chair country of the OSCE. It can make a major contribution to security issues, and therefore we welcome Georgia’s candidacy. Cyprus’s candidacy is also included on the list. Georgia’s candidacy is a compromise option”, Blanár said.
