Semneby set aside the NKR conflict
The EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Peter Semneby, called for strengthened EU and OSCE engagement in the South Caucasus in a presentation to the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna today.
"The unresolved conflicts in the South Caucasus continue to represent the primary threats to the region's stability," said Semneby, emphasizing that the security situation in Nagorno-Karabakh was of particular concern.
Semneby called for the ceasefire arrangement to be strengthened, and for the EU and other international actors to step up engagement in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Semneby also discussed the EU's Eastern Partnership with the South Caucasus and challenges to democratic development in the three countries.
