In its recommendations for the future of Ukraine’s chairmanship in the OSCE author underscored that Ukraine has the institutional resources to achieve successful results and that Ukraine has to choose maximalist approach to the presidency of the organization and begin the process that Mr. Rozhanski entitled as a path of historical reconciliation efforts aimed at resolving ” frozen conflicts “in the region, where Ukraine has its position and interests, to ensure energy security in the region, and transparent investment climate. According to Mr, Rozhanski, those priorities do not contradict the official position of Kyiv.
At the same time, Mr. Rozhanski emphasized that it is necessary to focus on what is attainable and focus not exclusively on Ukrainian national interest but also to continue and promotes the holistic policy of development of the OSCE. Also the author stressed that any changes within the OSCE mechanisms of consensus may adversely affect the progress of the organization.
