The termination of the Memorandum of Understanding on the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Baku (PCiB) does not prejudice other forms of Azerbaijan’s co-operation within the OSCE framework, the OSCE press service told on July 1.

While dialogue on options for further steps related to the OSCE presence in Azerbaijan continues, the Organization has started the technical process of discontinuing the operations of the PCiB in Azerbaijan, the OSCE press service said.

OSCE noted that the mandate for the PCiB remains in force until 31 December 2015, and it was adopted by the Permanent Council in a consensus decision on 27 November 2014 OSCE noted.
