Formally inaugurating Italy’s 2018 Chairmanship of the OSCE, Minister Angelino Alfano announced that "Dialogue, Ownership, Responsibility" would be the motto of its work this year, reflecting the spirit that informed the organization’s origination four decades ago.
Addressing the crisis in and around Ukraine, the protracted conflicts, the security of the Mediterranean region, and the challenges of migration, including by combating human trafficking and all forms of xenophobia and discrimination, are among Italy’s OSCE Chairmanship priorities. In addition to supporting the intensification of negotiating efforts under the Normandy Format and the Trilateral Contact Group, Alfano said that the Chairmanship will support with all its energy the work of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine.
