live from moscow here with our top stories this wednesday president obama has made a last ditch appeal for u.s. lawmakers to seal the nuclear cuts treaty with russia urging them to give it top priority for the session then the senate is due to anger go up power shift which would allow republicans more opportunities to block the agreement. and on the other side of the atlantic president madrid of course is for a new security treaty for europe at the o.s.c. e.u. summit we told the leaders of fifty six member states it's time to overcome the stereotypes of the past and resolve differences over conventional arms in europe.

because it's the final day of lobbying for countries vying to host the football world prompting twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two people will decide tomorrow and brussels among the favorites sports officials say that win or lose the country will still benefit from the new stadiums. their european security is at a key crossroads as major summit gets underway we get the view from the inside as we hear from the o.s.c. e secretary general that's next. mr bush of us thank you very much for talking to us during this summit to what extent is organization for security and cooperation in europe is interested in proposed by president. whether proposals by present medvedev had one great merit because they were sort of a wake up call not. everybody was happy with the family of greater europe with

current arrangements for putting security that a fresh look if fresh approach had to be given to those issues this clearly energized the discussions and you will see as you know there was a so-called call for process and i think this laid the groundwork for the efforts because the chairmanship of seaway see this year and the strong push by the coventry ship to have this summit which we are having now in which in a way. to renovate and to give a new foundation to european security the mere fact that the fifty six are meeting here means that they care about. having a better atmosphere about each other the better climate and they care about giving you the trust a new impulse a fresh and vision to this organization here we see where they are together on the

equal footing where they are as equal members of the same family not members or just as that group what do you see as the strengths. well they are some key elements that. are present the need for continuous consultation the need for full. respect. mutual interests and other people's point of view and the reference to the. common interests and the reference to the fact that this common interests are best respected if they take use of a speck of the. experience of their will seize and say sixty five the i think the final act remains. the basic founding document with all its.

ten principles which have to be seen in combination so in this sense the recommitment to this perspective that is at the core of the status of it where it is a russian nature corporation leave organization for security and cooperation in europe as a military organization i see the different different tracks through which a community security and greater europe can be built it will be a noisy certainly but it will be also in different organisations the fact that lisbon was a good meeting that there was a successful nato russia can also reading that there was also a successful meeting of contributors to the i suffer. gives a good background to the work we are having here and i stand and they continue with contacts between the european union and the russian federation the continued contacts individual states have among themselves in various combinations all these

created a network of good will and they would network of mutually supporting exchanges it is out of network because this continuous process of consultation incorporation that we are going to overcome current mistrust and current difficulties that always see you responded rapidly to the caregivers crisis both during the departure of but and ethnic tensions in all. what is always sea analysis of the stability of current is democracy at the moment it is obvious that the euro two thousand and ten has been difficult to carry stand there were major upheavals most in the north and the south but there are also very positive developments for a friend let's give election a return to an orderly process of off peace and president roosevelt to buy a vowel is here in

a stunner she will be having in-depth schools in taishan as they wish he had been president side by side with the people of kyrgyzstan she wowed this crisis now it is important that once a new coalition of parties appears that the new government is completed we immediately start to work all for. recent rekindling economic activity of consolidating the institutions and of creating a basis for civil peace between all the components of the cookies people so that events that we have seen in june cannot recur belonging they always seem mission in the caucasus was rejected out to georgia south and south of here what lessons have been there and some that it is not only the sea bishan that the caucasus which had or didn't have an impact on the conflict as you know there were much broader cases there we see did its duty as the early warning to the new deal in terms of trying to address a crisis when it happened and b.

i remind you that we had no less than twenty military monitors which were present between. july of two thousand and nine and which was the first ones to try and help stabilize the situation so the lessons are there however for everybody that you cannot escape difficult issues that you have to address a brillant loosely that you have to take every opportunity to create. for exchange for political dialogue this is what is happening regularly in geneva this is what is happening in the contact so-called i.p.r. at meetings between the different parties where they were seated also involved regarding the station itself of c. sharp there is no question that this is a difficult issue but it is also an issue where there is some very hard work doing including going on including here in the margins of the summit. out of

highs it together respectively create a clash between two fundamental principles in helsinki underpinning your organization. integrity and subsets of a nation how can you set to result tensions in the caucasus without recognizing and responding to protests. the status quo we have to be clear we are present in kosovo as part of you are in the ocean twelve forty four the presence in kosovo is entirely status neutral it is friendly and accept by all components of the course of our population therefore we are not trying to resolve this issue there will be talks hopefully starting soon to progressively recreate bridges between. belgrade and prestigious. and we hope this will aggressively work itself out. in the caucasus a combination of the principles that uses

a different really because there has been a prolonged phase of tension since one thousand nine hundred two that is not forget and moments of of conflict which would be particularly intense. but it is also a very. delicate situation to be addressed through political reasons through the use of force when use of force has been central to the discussion so far that been significant move. voice to recently by presence in the european parliament this also creates a new background for conversations here in a stunna and i hope it will be the beginning of. a resumption of direct contacts between all parties most of the world's heroin is consumed on. two point five million russians are addicted to drugs that come from afghanistan and increasing quantities n.y.

is always seem powerless to stop the drug flow considering that the political will is there. well following the mandate we received from our ministers in two thousand and seven in madrid we have been working very seriously alongside with central asian members of the principal states and deal with the to strengthen the border between afghanistan and the central asian states by intensive training of central asian border police the customs office drugs police alone with coatings we have a board of management staff college now operating in tucson bay customs academy bishkek there is a lot of work being done in the wooded oval was part of the police academies also in turkey and many other videos so it's taken time but now i think we have created a joint perspective because afghanistan which is

a nation partner voice mom i think we've been working very closely with them we have had many meetings including of the whole of the with c.n.n. station partners in kabul itself. and afghanistan feels that ease as part of the greater family and we see president karzai will be is here during this time is i mean he is addressing the his colleagues the heads of state in government which. is a very very strong very clear signal that afghanistan and the problems that are generated by drug trafficking are at the heart of the concerns of the worst how can losses forces help to prevent drug trafficking from afghanistan considering that russia has repeatedly said that its forces will not be sent to afghanistan but we're also working side by side with c.s.t. oh which also has a committee is there and with russian forces which are present in the system so

what is important is to have very good coordination very good coordination between international organizations were sent by corporation with c.s.d. or with c.i.s. but also with the u.n. with the e.u. with the council of europe when it is involved in order to all work in the same direction and to have a very positive synergy to make progress how can you respond to the claim that the security and cooperation in europe doesn't stolz conflicts but rather three system . is as good as its participating states we cannot have a magic wand and because we have those good principles work out instant solutions there is some merit in freezing conflicts a frozen conflict is better than an active conflict and just keeping the political process of parting parties discussing with each other takes example also

the men's group and it says three co-chairs they have a very hard job and there was a big working strenuously in order to avoid renewed conflict but also progressively to build the principles of what may be the peace rage but this is happening here also in a stunna that may be a high level meeting in the context of say in this group and their hope. he will be this is a senseless job because it's a very demanding one for those who practice it goes to meet me the years spence create a foundation for the future and hopefully for a political solution to the conference thank you very much for thank you.
