The OSCE in 2003 adapted itself to new security risks and challenges and refined its instruments to meet new challenges ahead. During the year the OSCE had to demonstrate its ability to respond effectively to the demands of an ever-changing security environment. The Institutions and Missions of the OSCE demonstrated their ability to make a difference on the ground through the numerous activities they developed. In many cases the OSCE co-operated in 2003 with other international organisations that deal with European security, human rights and economic issues. In view of the broad spectrum and complex nature of security and other issues, and in line with its Platform for Co-operative Security, co-operation with other organisations and institutions was promoted, as it makes the performance of the OSCE more effective and more efficient.

While continuing to serve as a vital forum for dialogue, consultations and negotiations on political, politico-military and security matters, the Organization in 2002 remained highly focused on field work, with nearly 4,000 international and local staff working in 19 missions, offices and centres co-operating with their host countries in south-eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia an unrivalled presence on the ground. With preventing and combating terrorism high on the agenda in 2002, participating States agreed to focus the OSCE's efforts in four key areas where the Organization has, or is rapidly developing, a real comparative advantage- policing, border security, anti-trafficking and cutting off terrorist financing.
