Incoming chair, OSCE sec-gen address Belgrade gathering

The meeting in the Serbian capital can contribute to a stronger and better OSCE, he said, recalling that, at an OSCE Permanent Council session five months ago, he said that Europe is navigating through turbulent waters, which have not become calmer since.

"Since then, we have had a new wave of terrorism and migrants and there are also other worries that trouble us," he said, noting the downing of a Russian jet on the Syrian-Turkish border, which is one of the topics of the meeting, with two OSCE member states now in direct confrontation.

OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier said on Thursday that 2015 has been a year of challenges and that OSCE member states must be united in the fight against extreme radicalism and terrorism and in tackling the migrant crisis.

Challenges on the global agenda have affected the region and the fight against terrorism has become a part of everyday life everywhere in the world, he said at the opening of the 22nd Ministerial Council meeting.

All institutions and organizations must do everything they can to prevent terrorism, he said.

"We have learned that, in the fight against violent extremism, we must solve the problems in our society and encourage tolerance and dialogue," he said.

To solve the issue of migrants, the initial problems that caused it - wars, climate change and poverty - must be solved, while societies must be more tolerant, Zannier said.
