"Ladies and gentlemen, as many of you know already, Lithuania will take over the Chairmanship of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in January 2011. This chairmanship could be a unique opportunity for my country to take initiatives to strengthen regional cooperation, increase energy security and combat corruption. It is also important not to underestimate the human dimension of OSCE cooperation. As well as its political and military dimension, the OSCE also plays a crucial role in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The EU must also play an important role in this field. The coordination of EU and OSCE activities in the field of human rights is a common interest we all share. Let us not forget the circumstances in which the OSCE was established. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the inaugural conference of the OSCE and the Helsinki Final Act, when the foundations of this organisation were laid. This event symbolised a moral and political commitment to the principles of democracy and human rights. It is regrettable that this spirit of Helsinki has dimmed in recent years. This must change. I therefore await the results of the OSCE summit this December in Astana with much impatience."@en1
