VIENNA, 20 January 2010 - Journalists who want to acquire or renew accreditation to the OSCE Secretariat in Vienna are requested to fill out the form found on the link to the right. (http://www.osce.org/documents/sg/2008/01/3783_en.pdf)

Email or fax the form, along with a copy of a valid press card or a recent letter of assignment from your employer, to the OSCE Press and Public Information Section. Fax number: +43 1 514 36 6105. Email: press@osce.org

After your application has been approved, you can collect your new badge in connection to covering an OSCE press event.

The press badge allows access to most OSCE media events as well as to the cafeteria area of the Neuer Saal at the Hofburg upon invitation. Please note that some media events require additional accreditation.

Holding an OSCE press badge assures you quick and easy access to the Hofburg. Journalists who are not accredited to the OSCE may usually obtain temporary admission badges to the OSCE premises, space permitting. They must present a valid press card at the security desk.

The OSCE reserves the right to withdraw accreditation or temporary badges.
