The OSCE Ministerial Council meeting marked the end of the Romanian presidency of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a mandate during which important events took place.
The greatest success of the Romanian presidency was the reopening of the mission in Chechnya, a mission led by a Romanian diplomat, Alexandru Cornea, ambassador to Kiev.
The OSCE's return to Chechnya had a special significance, especially since this was the main subject of disagreement between the OSCE and Russia at the ministerial meeting in November 2000.
Of the events that took place during Romania's mandate, the crisis in Macedonia was probably the most serious conflict to emerge in the Balkans after Kosovo, at a time when the Yugoslav Federation (Serbia and Montenegro) was particularly vulnerable, and the ethnic nature of the crisis made the possibility of the conflict spreading very high.
The OSCE was involved in the finalization and signing of the Ohrid agreements, which marked the end of the confrontations and the beginning of the process of amending the Macedonian legislative framework.
Computerland Romania ensured the optimal technical conditions for the smooth running of this event, the professionalism it demonstrated being appreciated by both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
