BELGRADE, 26 October 2001 (OSCE) - The OSCE Mission to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia welcomes the decision of Yugoslav authorities to join the network of direct communication between the capitals of OSCE participating States for the purpose of exchanging messages concerning military activities.
Being involved in involved in activities aimed at promoting military security, the OSCE attaches specific importance to the implementation by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia of confidence- and security-building measures as contained in the Vienna Document 1999 and applicable to all OSCE participating States.
