The FSC Chairmanship rotates three times a year. The Chairmanship takes the lead in setting the agenda for each meeting and brings attention to issues concerning the implementation of commitments adopted by the Forum. The FSC Chairperson is assisted by the incoming and the outgoing Chairperson, who together form the FSC Troika.

The first FSC Chairmanship in 2013 is held by Liechtenstein. Lithuania will hold the second one in 2013 and Luxembourg the third. The three successive Chairmanships each year jointly develop the Tentative Annual Working Programme of the FSC.
