Alexander Lukashevich, Russia's permanent representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, announced that his country is waiting for responses from Western countries to its request to explain its understanding of the principle of indivisibility of security.
Today, during an informal meeting held in the framework of Poland’s initiative, as the current president of the organization, to launch the resumed dialogue on European security, Lukashevich was quoted by the Russian TASS news agency as saying: “It is important for us to have a clear vision of how to understand the Western countries that are members of the OSCE. The principle of the indivisibility of security and the way it implements the commitment made to it not to enhance its security at the expense of the security of other countries.
Lukashevich indicated that Moscow is awaiting responses from Western countries to the message of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in this regard, in a national and not collective capacity, because its analysis will allow Moscow to formulate steps later in the field of European security.
Russia's permanent representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe explained that the comprehensive concept of indivisibility of security was adopted during the OSCE summit in Istanbul in 1999, but the organization did not find during more than two decades the political will to search for ways to build a free, democratic, joint and inviolable security society Fragmentary extending from Vancouver to Vladivostok.
Lavrov confirmed in a press statement after the end of his phone conversation with his American counterpart Anthony Blinken last Tuesday that Russia will not allow the United States to evade answering a question about its position on the obligations it has taken upon itself within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe related to the indivisibility of security.
