Background & Purpose

OSCE works for security and political dialogue across Europe. Sweden participates through a parliamentary delegation that reports regularly to the Swedish parliament.

Proposals & Debate

The government submitted reports covering the OSCE's activities through 2023 and 2024, alongside a delegation report. Additionally, an opposition motion was filed demanding stronger measures for the OSCE.

The Decision

Parliament accepted the reports and said no to the opposition motion, pointing out that the proposed measures are already being addressed.
