He added that in the context of worsened security situation on the Ukrainian border, co-operation between all is necessary in order to secure peace and stability in the wider OSCE area.

Ambassador Dmochowski presented priorities of the Polish presidency, which include providing support in solving conflicts with emphasis on the role of diplomacy, as well as efficient multilateralism as a response to post COVID challenges. He stressed that in framework of the economic and ecologic dimension, their priority is strengthening sustainable recovery and modernization of the economies of the OSCE region. He expects that Poland will, during its chairmanship, contribute to stability and easing of tensions, as well as create additional possibilities for co-operation.

During the meeting, interlocutors commended the co-operation with the OSCE Mission in Podgorica which actively contributes to national reform processes, especially in areas of electoral and judicial reforms, as well as media freedoms.
