Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Grushko: Russia has been invited to a meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers in Skopje
Russia was invited to a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the OSCE member states. This was announced by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko, reports RIA News.
“We intend to go at the ministerial level, this is a ministerial meeting,” he shared.
The meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers will take place from November 30 to December 1, 2023 in the capital of North Macedonia, Skopje.
Earlier, the Federal Minister of European, Integration and Foreign Affairs of Austria, Alexander Schallenberg, said that it is necessary to invite the foreign ministers of Russia and Belarus to OSCE meetings. He recalled that this organization includes 57 member countries, and expressed the opinion that each of them should be invited to meetings.
Last year, a meeting of the OSCE Foreign Ministers was held in the Polish city of Lodz, while Warsaw refused to allow Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to participate. In Russia, this decision was called unprecedented and provocative.
