North Macedonia Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said November 27 that Malta has agreed to take over the OSCE's rotating presidency from Skopje in January. "Thank you Malta for your willingness to take on this vital role and to all colleagues for your flexibility and support," Osmani, who currently chairs the OSCE, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
