"History teaches us that armed conflicts are an outcome of the inability of the combatants to talk about contentious issues and find compromise solutions. The OSCE represents a forum for seeking such solutions. At the same time, the OSCE is today respected as an independent arbiter in assessing the democratic running of elections, and democratic standards. I am therefore in favour of strengthening the OSCE, particularly in relation to the spreading of democracy and compliance with human rights. The OSCE monitoring and field missions are an important part of the expansion of the free world. However, from an EU perspective, some activities are being duplicated here. If we are talking about strengthening the OSCE, we should, at the same time, think about the extent to which the OSCE can replace the activities of EU representatives in various conflict regions. Also, as we are praising the work of the OSCE in the area of human rights, this opens up the possibility of discussing the extent to which the roles of the OSCE and the Council of Europe overlap. The aim of this discussion should be to achieve higher efficiency in the spending of public funds, which, in a time of cost cutting, is undoubtedly a priority for our voters."@en1
