MOSCOW, January 13. /TASS/. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) must combat the myth of the Russian threat and seek ways for cooperation that would include Moscow, to ensure security on the European continent, said Russia's Permanent Representative to the OSCE Dmitry Polyansky.
"I think that the OSCE should do everything to combat this trend and find such cooperation options that would include Russia, especially since the OSCE already has everything it needs, all the tools, so there is no need to invent anything here," he said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
There are already frameworks for cooperation, you just need to "revive them," and for this you need a desire not only from Russia, but also from other neighbors in Europe.
The diplomat noted that the OSCE has largely discredited itself and is currently at a crossroads, where there are two further prospects.
"If things continue as they are, the organization will soon be forgotten, and it is quite possible that we will not see it again. If, after all, common sense prevails, there is a need for some kind of dialogue on the issue of security and strategic stability on the European continent, if there is a request to build new security equations that would include Russia, then the OSCE is the best platform for this," he pointed out.
