Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called for a stronger role for the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict zone, the Kremlin said on Saturday. In a statement he said he had expressed the view in a telephone conversation with the president of Finland who holds the OSCE's rotating chairmanship.
The chairman urged Medvedev to agree on increasing OSCE military monitors to 100 from 10, the Finnish president's office said. There was no word from the Kremlin on the details. (Reuters)
