    Special Representative
    To:
    PA President
    and
    PA Secretary General
    November 16, 2018
    PC Brief Week 38-46, 2018
    These weeks were marked by an extensive involvement of Liaison Office Staff in OSCE PA activities outside
    of Vienna and a considerable number of visits by OSCE PA officers to Vienna, which the News from Copen-
    hagen have already reported about. OSCE PA activities staffed by the Office included the visit of Special
    Representative for South East Europe Mark Pritchard to Serbia, the Bishkek Fall Session, the Election Obser-
    vation Missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia, the Needs Assessment Mission to Armenia, the
    Presidential visits to Bratislava, Italy, the Holy See and San Marino, the Cetinje Parliamentary Forum (where
    I held two key note speeches on election-related matters), a Rome Meeting of Political Directors and the
    Madrid Conference on Victims of Terrorism. PA President Tsereteli addressed the PC on 11 October, fol-
    lowed by a presentation at a side event of an Inter-Parliamentary Conference for the EU Common Foreign
    and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy and an anniversary reception organized
    by the Vienna Office. The Chair of the Committee on Countering Terrorism Makis Voridis came to Vienna to
    speak at the 2nd OSCE-wide seminar on Passenger Data exchange and again at the Security Committee. The
    Rapporteur of the OSCE PA`s Human Rights Committee Kyriakos Kyriakou-Hadjiyianni participated in a Sup-
    plementary Human Dimension Meeting on Human Rights and Education. The OSCE PA`s Second Committee
    Rapporteur Elena Gjebrea Hoxha participated in the Economic and Environmental Dimension Implementa-
    tion Meeting (EEDIM). I represented the OSCE PA as an opening speaker at the ODIHR Seminar on Election
    Observation and Election Campaigns.
    There were meetings of the PC – including a joint one with the Forum for Security Cooperation (FSC) on
    Structured Dialogue and a Special PC on the illegal electio s in Eastern Donbas, Ukraine, - of the FSC, of
    the Committees and other informal sub-structures, as well as the events mentioned above, plus a Confer-
    ence on Women in the Security Sector, a Conference on Gender and Second Dimension: Digital Transfor-
    mation, and an OSCE Seminar "Leveraging migration for socio-economic de elop e t . In addition to the
    addresses by PA members we spoke at several of these presenting the PA’s positions and activities.
    The output of all these meetings in terms of decisions was minimal: A decision to forward Draft Agenda to
    the Ministerial Council, the Timetable of the Twenty-fifth Meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council and the
    Dates and Venue of the Twenty-Ninth Annual Implementation Assessment Meeting (AIAM). However, the
    Milan Ministerial Council will most probably be held without modalities due to conflicting views on which
    International Organizations should be officially invited to attend.
    A number of Western countries invoked the Mosco Mecha is , an investigation by human rights ex-
    perts into alleged human rights iolatio s in the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation, referring to
    27 individuals who allegedly were extrajudicially executed by Chechen authorities in Grozny in 2017.
    The drafting of MC documents is at the centre of attention (list of 14 November attached), with six of them
    mentioning the importance of PA activities in the fields of the fight against terrorism, digital economy, com-
    bating gender-based violence, promoting women political participation and in the Draft Milan declaration
    on dialogue, ownership and responsibility for a safer Europe, as well as in the Draft declaration on the
    OSCE’S efforts in addressing the crisis in and around Ukraine.
