Council of Europe president nations traditionally organise a series of public events centred on the presidency’s themes, and we will be no different
Two separate sources within the ministry argued that the Council of Europe presidency could not be directly compared to the OSCE one, citing two key differences.
“The OSCE is more focused on strictly diplomatic matters,” one source said.
“Council of Europe president nations traditionally organise a series of public events centred on the presidency’s themes, and we will be no different.”
Another said it was also difficult to compare spending on the two events because Malta was appointed OSCE president at the last minute when Russia vetoed Estonia’s bid. That meant the country had no time to prepare for the event and had to focus on the bare essentials, the source said.
The Council of Europe is widely considered to be the largest human rights organisation in Europe, focusing on democracy, human rights and upholding the rule of law.
The Committee of Ministers is made up of foreign ministers from each member country. Its presidency works on a rotating basis, with each European state holding the presidency for a six-month period, in strict alphabetical order.
