Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe

  • Chapter

Abstract

The authorities in Moscow have recognized the opportunities that exist for the integration of Russia into Europe as a ‘normal’ power. The Russian leadership has officially acknowledged that the main threats to Russian security arise to the south and south-west, and most importantly, from within Russia itself. Apart from the war-torn Balkans, Europe has been recognized as a relative zone of stability. However, despite these relatively positive circumstances, Russia’s relations with Europe since 1992 have not been without difficulties.
