 Some delegations at the OSCE Foreign Minister's summit in Skopje left the room as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov began his address on November 30. Lavrov's invitation to the summit faced backlash from some countries boycotting the event in Bulgaria prevented the Russian Foreign Minister from flying over its territory on his way to Skopje. Lavrov told the meeting that the OSCE was on the brink of a precipice and that the West was killing the chances of reviving the group. The next speaker is Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov followed by Denmark. Mr. Minister, you have the floor.
