!!!OSZE

OSCE, Organisation for Security and Cooperation In Europe, established 
in 1995, developed out of the  CSCE. a forum for dialogue between all 
European states as well as the United States and Canada (in 1992 the 
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was suspended). Main objectives: 
preventive diplomacy, normalisation after conflicts, human rights, 
election supervision, arms control and cooperation in the fields of 
economy, technology and environment. Regular OSCE follow-up 
conferences (OSCE summits, Council of Ministers meetings, meetings of 
the Permanent Council) are held in furtherance of these goals, as well 
as missions to former and current crisis areas (10 missions carried 
out in 1997). The Secretariate General is headquartered in Vienna. The 
former Federal Chancellor F.  Vranitzky was OSCE special envoy to 
Albania in 1997.
