Ukrinform (1 December 2023)

Kazakhstan wanted to become a compromise figure for the OSCE chairmanship in 2024, but Russia was against it.

This was reported to Ukrinform by a Western diplomat at the OSCE, who wished to speak on condition of anonymity.

"After it became clear that Russia would not give in to its unreasonable blocking of Estonia's 2024 chairmanship and the search for compromise figures began, Kazakhstan expressed its readiness to chair the OSCE next year. But the Russian delegation opposed this and dissuaded their Kazakh colleagues from nominating Astana's candidacy," the diplomat said.
