By refusing the participation of the Russian delegation led by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Council of Ministers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Poland destroys this organization itself.

According to APA's Moscow correspondent, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said this.

"We are talking not only about Poland as a state, but about the country that chairs the OSCE and must provide equal working conditions for all member countries. Poland is attacking the organization's own system, security and cooperation in Europe," said the Russian MFA spokesman.

Zakharova reminded that the OSCE was created as a discussion platform for different countries and politicians with different views: "Today, the Polish presidency is actually destroying this negotiation platform."

It should be noted that Poland, the current chairman of the OSCE, did not allow the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov to participate in the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the OSCE to be held in Lodz on December 1-2.

At the meeting, the Russian delegation will be headed by the permanent representative to the OSCE, Alexander Lukashevich.
