Transdniestrian thaw and entry of Mongolia among year's highlights - The Irish Times - Wed, Dec 05, 2012: "Ireland also successfully ushered in Mongolia as the OSCE’s 57th member, adding further to the diversity of an organisation that prides itself on including states that stretch from Vancouver to Vladivostok. Ireland has also helped Ukraine with preparatory work for its own chairmanship year in 2013.
“A number of important decisions were taken through the year, with one particular decision standing out – accession of Mongolia as the 57th OSCE participating state,” said Ukraine’s foreign minister Kostyantyn Gryshchenko.
“This is a remarkable development and the persistent efforts of the Irish chairmanship deserve our high appreciation.”"
