Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba made a corresponding proposal during a meeting with Matteo Mecacci, Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), in Stockholm, the Ministry’s press service informs.
“Against the background of Russia’s blocking of OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meetings (HDIM), Dmytro Kuleba put forward the initiative to make Ukraine a regional hub for OSCE’s activities in the field of human rights protection and civil society development,” reads the statement.
"Ukraine has a very powerful civil society. We consider this to be the strength and advantage of our country. Therefore, we are ready to take on the role of a regional hub for strengthening civil society in the Central European region," Kuleba said.
In this context, the minister invited the OSCE/ODIHR to consider the possibility of holding events in Ukraine that would provide a platform for effective cooperation between representatives of governments and civil societies in the region.
