Speech and answers to media questions by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov following the results of the 30th meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council, Skopje, December 1, 2023.

"Question: You made it clear today that you don’t believe in a bright future for the OSCE. You are talking about the collapse of the organisation, saying it no longer plays its key role. Are you planning to pull out, given the situation?

Sergey Lavrov: Quote me correctly. I said I don’t care how this OSCE meeting ends.

I don’t know where you received your education as a journalist. You asked me if we were planning to pull out of the organisation, and I replied that you should quote me correctly. I was referring to my words that I didn’t care about the outcome of the OSCE’s current meeting.

I know that in your country, Germany, members of the government are supposed to be clear with journalists on what they should write. We respect our journalists and leave it up to them as to how to express the results of a news conference."
