Macedonia Says Malta Agrees To Hold OSCE Rotating Presidency From January

North Macedonia Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said November 27 that Malta has agreed to take over the OSCE's rotating presidency from Skopje in January. "Thank you Malta for your willingness to take on this vital role and to all colleagues for your flexibility and support," Osmani, who currently chairs the OSCE, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. EU and NATO member Estonia was supposed to take over from January, but Russia and Belarus vetoed it, arguing that Estonia is a NATO country. EU member Malta is militarily neutral, although it has condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Balkan Service, click here.
