LONDON - The decision of the organizers and of the Secretariat of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) not to invite Yugoslavia to the summit in Istanbul is contrary to the operating principles that are binding for the organization, Yugoslav head of mission to the U.N. Ambassador Vladislav Jovanovic told British radio BBC.
"Yugoslavia is a member of OSCE, and its previous suspension had also been in violation of OSCE principles," Jovanovic said.
He recalled that in 1992, the formula of "consensus minus one" was made up in OSCE to find a way to suspend the activities of Yugoslavia in that organization.
"Our position is that only the reactivating of our membership in the Organization can lead to further successes, both of OSCE in our territory and to overcoming the problems we have with that organization," the Yugoslav ambassador said.
