Panel of Eminent Persons
Members of the Panel of Eminent Persons on European Security as a Common Project in Vienna, 18 June 2015.
Developing resilience and making European security more immune to crisis, the Panel of Eminent Persons on European Security as a Common Project is mandated to provide advice on how to reconsolidate European security as a common project. The Panel is preparing the basis for an inclusive and constructive security dialogue across the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regions, reflecting on how to re-build trust among OSCE participating States, and examining perceived threats in the OSCE area and potential common solutions. It was launched on the initiative of the 2014 Swiss OSCE Chairmanship in close co-operation with Serbia and Germany at the OSCE Ministerial Council 2014 in Basel on 4 December.
