CSTO Foreign Ministers expressed disagreement with the inadmissibility of the Russian delegation to the OSCE Ministerial Council

This was stated by the Secretary General of the organization Stanislav Zas.

According to him, cited by RIA Novosti, such a decision harms only the OSCE itself.

Zas added that the invitation to the summit was also not sent to the CSTO, despite a long tradition.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Poland's decision to refuse Lavrov's participation in the OSCE Ministerial Council on December 1-2 is unprecedented and provocative. 

Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Pavel Yablonsky said that Russia should be absolutely isolated as much as possible on all international platforms.
