Skopje, 21 November 2022 (MIA) – Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani met Monday with the new Head of the OSCE Mission to Skopje, Ambassador Kilian Wahl. The upcoming chairmanship of the Republic of North Macedonia with the OSCE in 2023 was discussed during the meeting. Osmani expressed his satisfaction with the appointment of Ambassador Wahl as the head of the OSCE Mission, as a distinguished expert in crisis prevention and management in South-Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans. FM Osmani also emphasized that he appreciates the fact that Wahl comes from Germany, a country that provides a constant support to North Macedonia and is a prominent geopolitical actor and an important member of the OSCE. “Interlocutors referred to North Macedonia's 2023 OSCE Chairmanship, with Ambassador Wahl providing open support during the chairmanship, especially noting that the chairmanship of the OSCE in 2023 will be a difficult and challenging task, primarily due to the open aggression of a participating country and other current developments in the OSCE region,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release. Among other things, Minister Osmani noted that our goal is enhanced cooperation with OSCE field missions with the aim of establishing synergy between the priorities of the presidency and those of field missions.
