The delegation of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PA) has passed a statement due to its inability to participate in the 31st annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the press service of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus told BelTA, Ednews reports.
Belarusian MPs are extremely indignant by the Romanian government’s deliberate disruption of the Belarusian parliament’s delegation’s participation in the 31st annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. “The Romanian government made the decision contrary to all the basic commitments and principles of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The Republic of Belarus takes an active part in the operation of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. In 2017 our country successfully hosted the 26th annual session of the OSCE PA. It was the most representative session in the assembly’s history. Belarus enabled as favorable conditions as possible for the work of foreign MPs, who represented 55 member states,” the statement reads.
