ArmInfo. During the chairmanship of the OSCE, Italy will pay maximum attention to the crisis in Ukraine and the so-called protracted conflicts in the OSCE zone - Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Georgia. This was in an interview with RIA Novosti, said OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Foreign and International Cooperation Angelina Alfano before the visit to Kiev and Moscow. According to him, the priority task will be to facilitate the search for a solution to the Ukrainian crisis. "As OSCE Chairman-in-Office, I will visit Ukraine from January 30 to January 31 and Moscow on February 1, and will have contacts with members of the OSCE special monitoring mission in eastern Ukraine, a mission that plays a key role in preventing the risks of a new escalation and which Italy strongly supports, including through the significant presence of observers. Our other priority is to attract more attention to the challenges coming from the Mediterranean, as we are convinced that the Mediterranean dimension is a complement, not an alternative to the OSCE Euro-Asian dimension. This message we already voiced in October last year at the OSCE Mediterranean Conference, held in Palermo. Finally, as Italy's chairman, Italy intends to strengthen the three dimensions on which the OSCE's comprehensive security concept is based: military-political, economic-environmental and human, "the Italian minister said.
