“I have spent most of my career trying to build bridges between conflicting sides in South East Europe. I consider creating harmony and facilitating dialogue to be the central pillar of my approach,” Montella said.

“As Secretary General, I will strive to do the same. That means strengthening links, and forging new ones, between the Assembly and the OSCE’s governmental side and with other international organizations. This is not a goal in itself, but a way to help our parliamentarians deliver concrete results to the ‘end users’ of the OSCE’s products – namely, the citizens of OSCE area, and particularly those who live under difficult security situations.”

Montella has held various posts within the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s Secretariat, most recently serving as Director of Presidential Administration.

He previously held positions at OSCE field missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Serbia and Montenegro, fulfilling a range of advisory, peace-building and management functions. He also served as Head of the OSCE South Serbia Regional Office and Head of the European Center for Minority Issues in Kosovo.

“I believe that in the face of the tremendous challenges affecting the OSCE area today, we need intensive, international parliamentary co-operation and dialogue more than ever before. The OSCE PA is one of the world’s vital forums for problem-solving and reinforcement of shared commitments. I will work every day to defend its health and facilitate the important work of its elected members,” the new Secretary General concluded.
