Romania is a strategic partner of the OSCE regarding the efforts to
prevent and resolve conflicts through mediation and exploring
concrete ways to strengthen the mediation efforts. Given the new
challenges that our country is going through from the geostrategic
point of view and the fact that a peaceful resolution of conflicts in
the OSCE area is a high priority, Romania must step up efforts to
reinforce mediation as essential tool in the process of conflict
transformation, and last but not least the women involvement in
decision-making processes for maintaining safety and peace in the
region.
