COPENHAGEN 14 August 2000
COPENHAGEN, 12 August 2000 - From 13 to 17 August 2000, a recently established OSCE Parliamentary Democracy Team will visit Kosovo. The Team, headed by former President of the German Bundestag, Mrs. Rita Süssmuth, will assess the situation, including possibilities for the OSCE parliamentarians to assist the construction of civil society by promoting dialogue between parties and organizations representing different sections of the population in Kosovo. The OSCE parliamentary delegation to Kosovo also includes Team Member Mrs. Elisabeth Meijer (MP, Netherlands).
To this end, the delegation will visit various places in Kosovo to contact local institutions and political representation, as well as representatives of interim administration in Kosovo. The delegation will also take the opportunity to attend a meeting of the Kosovo Transitional Council, and the OSCE Political Party Consultative Forum during which parties are briefed on the upcoming municipal elections later this year.
In the fulfillment of its mandate, the Democracy Team will co-operate closely with other OSCE Institutions and, in particular with the OSCE Mission in Kosovo.
