The OSCE meeting in North Macedonia has sparked controversy as several countries, including Ukraine and the Baltic states, have decided to boycott the event due to the attendance of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that Russia's presence at the meeting would deepen the crisis, and the Baltic nations also expressed their intention to skip the meeting. Additionally, Bulgaria's decision to open its airspace for Lavrov's plane was mentioned. The boycott has garnered support from Poland and other ministers, with Lavrov himself expressing doubts about the relevance of the OSCE. Despite the boycott, the US Secretary of State is set to attend the meeting, and Hungarian and Russian foreign ministers have held discussions at the event.
