(ANSA) - BERLIN - A call to strengthen the role of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been launched through the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung by the foreign ministers of Germany, Italy and Austria. ''Just in stormy times, we need a strong OSCE'', said with one voice Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Paolo Gentiloni and Sebastian Kurz, on the eve of the organization's Council of Ministers to be held tomorrow in Hamburg. The three ministers identified some common grounds for action, such as '' the creation of new platforms for dialogue and for a lasting solution of the crisis in Europe, a new beginning of monitoring conventional arms, a common approach to global challenges''. The ministers speak of ''too restless times in Europe'' that ''have questioned the architectural pillars of European peace'' and explicitly mentioned the Ukrainian crisis. (ANSA).
