Under Lithuania’s Chairmanship, the OSCE has taken meaningful steps towards the realization of this vision. This is a major and ambitious task, which cannot, of course, be achieved in a single year. In my first address to the OSCE Permanent Council in Janu- ary, I set out five main priorities: - To register tangible progress in addressing protracted conflicts; - To significantly improve our record of implementation of media free- dom commitments; - To enhance the OSCE’s profile with regard to transnational threats, in- cluding those emanating from the territory of Afghanistan; - To define the OSCE’s role in the energy security dialogue; and - To promote tolerance education throughout the OSCE area in order to combat hate crimes and discrimination. I believe that we have made progress in all of these areas. I am especially proud of the work that the Chairmanship team, the OSCE executive struc- tures, and the 2011 Chairmanships of the OSCE Forum for Security Co- operation (FSC) have done in getting the Transdniestrian settlement process back on track, updating the Vienna Document 1999 on confidence- and security-building measures, creating the Vilnius Guidelines on the protection of journalists, enhancing the OSCE’s capacity to combat transnational threats, strengthening co-operation with our Partners for Co-operation, and successfully concluding the mandate of the OSCE Office in Zagreb. The culmination of our Chairmanship was the Vilnius Ministerial Coun- cil, at which the OSCE foreign ministers took decisions on enhancing OSCE capabilities in early warning, early action, dialogue facilitation and mediation support, and post-conflict rehabilitation. Decisions were also taken on ad- dressing transnational threats, promoting equal opportunity for women in the economic sphere, strengthening the transport dialogue, the role of the OSCE in facilitating UN Security Council Resolution 1540, dealing with small arms and light weapons and conventional ammunition, and on issues relevant to the FSC. A declaration on combating all forms of human trafficking was agreed. Ministers also decided to enhance engagement with OSCE Partners for Co-operation, and Afghanistan, in particular. This is especially critical as we near the drawdown of international forces from the country. 9 As the holders of the Chairmanship of a regional security organization, in addition to our planned priorities and work, we also had to quickly and ef- fectively respond to political and security events in our region. The year started with the news that the Belarusian authorities had not agreed to extend the mandate of the OSCE Office in Minsk. The OSCE nevertheless continued its work in Belarus, for example through the activities of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the monitoring by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) of the trials of those arrested following the 19 December 2010 presidential elec- tions (report published on 10 November 2011). On 6 April, fourteen OSCE participating States invoked the 1991 Moscow Mechanism, which led to a report and recommendations on the human rights situation in Belarus. Throughout the year, I tried to maintain a dialogue with our Belarusian coun- terparts, presenting a package of possible OSCE activities, while often speak- ing out against violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms. The Chairmanship was concerned about repeated flare-ups of violence in northern Kosovo, particularly in the latter part of the year. I frequently ap- pealed for calm and co-operation, reinforcing the message during my visit to South-eastern Europe on 4-8 July. I also emphasized the urgency of regional co-operation in finding a humane solution for the refugees and internally dis- placed persons who were driven from their homes during the upheavals in the Balkans during the 1990s.

This expectation however is unlikely this year, because the salary bill for teachers and lecturers is al- ready too expensive, the Government says. Earlier protests with education employees forced the Govern- ment to pass a number of decisions regarding the remuneration improvements. One of decisions envisages a salary increase for education staff in public institutions and for other employees based on the Common Tar- iff Network. Pay raise promises Starting May 1, 2017, the public education staff in Moldova will receive a monthly raise of 100 lei (5$) and from September they will get a 10% raise, the Labor and Social Protection Ministry announced. At the same time, current legislation and the 2016 economic performance would allow to raise teachers’ salaries by 5.3% while the Government would be looking for additional funding during the amendment of the 2017 budget.

The air is invigorating. A source bubbles from a fountain in the monastery courtyard and runs in a stream down the valley past orchards and cultivated fields. Monks in the old days knew where to site their monasteries, in the most fertile and beautiful spots, protected by nature, places where the communities could be self- sufficient and independent. The fundamental anomaly of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo, long before the country declared independence from Serbia, is that its heartland, its pride and inspiration, flourished in a region where Serbs have for centuries been a minority. Kosovo Albanians have always populated this region: mostly as shepherds and farmers. Before the Ottoman invasion converted the majority to Islam, the people practiced Catholicism and their own form of Christianity with pagan elements.

  • From Confidence Building to Conflict Settlement in Moldova?
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 2011, Baden-Baden 2012, pp. 137-150. Claus Neukirch From Confidence Building to Conflict Settlement in Moldova? On 5 November 2009, on the night before the first informal 5+2 meeting1 fol- lowing the replacement of the Communist government by the centre-right coalition “Alliance for European Integration” (AEI) in Chişinău, the Head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova facilitated a private meeting between the new Moldovan chief negotiator and his Transdniestrian counterpart in a Viennese restaurant. This meeting marked the beginning of a new phase in the Trans- dniestrian settlement process and the restart of genuine talks between the two sides after a period of six years. While, for the past two years, these talks have focused on confidence-building measures and the resolution of practical issues between the sides, they have established common ground that has en- abled them to move on to official negotiations. This article looks into the prospects of moving from basic confidence building to genuine conflict settlement by analysing the enabling factors and stumbling blocks that are present today. A Look Back By November 2003, the Transdniestrian settlement process had turned from near-resolution into prolonged deadlock after a last-minute decision by Moldova’s then President Vladimir Voronin not to sign the “Kozak Memo- randum”. This proposal was brokered by Dmitry Kozak, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration, whose involvement Voronin himself had requested.2 Since then, all attempts to restart formal negotiations on the future status of Transdniestria have failed. Some progress was made in September 2005 when the sides agreed, during consultations in Odessa, to invite the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) to participate as observers in the five-sided negotiations and to restart formal talks.
