OSCE Testimonies
The main purpose of the Documentation Centre in Prague is to preserve and make available the institutional memory of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) and the OSCE. With that in mind, in 2010 the Documentation Centre initiated the CSCE/OSCE Oral History Project, the outcome of which is the book CSCE Testimonies: Causes and Consequences of Helsinki Final Act 1972–1989.
Available in print and online, it includes interviews with prominent officials and public figures involved in the Helsinki process, as well as all three subsequent review meetings (Belgrade, 1977–1978; Madrid, 1980–1983 and Vienna, 1986–1989). The nine testimonies presented here feature different points of view regarding the evolution and development of the CSCE from 1972 until 1989.
