President Petros Efthymiou today won a second one-year term as president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.
"I am honoured and humbled that my colleagues from parliaments throughout our region have re-elected me to lead this Assembly" Efthymiou said.
“I look forward to using this time to expand on the important work we have started to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the OSCE and strengthen dialogue with parliaments and other democratic institutions in places where democracy is still a relatively new experiment” he added.
“In my second term this Assembly will continue its tradition of being the source for new ideas and creative solutions for our organization to tackle the economic, security and human rights challenges across the OSCE region."
“As the most transparent institution in the OSCE family, I know in the year ahead we will continue to lead by example".
