About

Leading personalities in the field of art and culture from OSCE participating States discussed the problems of cultural creation, as well as dissemination and co-operation, including the promotion of exchanges.

Other themes discussed included culture as a stabilizing factor and its role in strengthening European unity.

During the discussions, Warsaw Pact states emphasized that culture and art should not be commercial but rather should promote and serve society, while western states stressed that art and culture should be independent and reinforce autonomy.
