The CSO decided to set up Missions of Long Duration in Kosovo, Sandjak and Vojvodina, which would have the following tasks:
- Promote dialogue between the authorities concerned and representatives of the populations and communities in the three regions
- Collect information on all matters relevant to violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms and promoting solutions to such problems
- Establish contact points for solving any problems identified
- Help to provide information on relevant legislation on human rights, protection of minorities, free media and democratic elections
The Missions were withdrawn in July 1993 after the memorandum of understanding expired, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia refusing to extend it at the request of the CSCE.
