The OSCE refused to use German UAV in Ukraine, the mission is only civil in nature, and Berlin insists that the drones were controlled by the military, the media says. " We welcome any offers of assistance from member countries of our Organization, " said Commissioner of the Organization for security and cooperation in the European Union in Vienna, Deutsche Welle reports.- However, the participation of soldiers contrary to the mandate of our mission in Ukraine ". The main reason for refusal - Berlin insists that the drones ran (and at the same time protected them) military, whereas in the composition of the present OSCE mission in Ukraine include only civilian observers. It was a " serious obstacle ", admitted during a visit to Berlin on October 16, the CSTO Secretary General Lamberto Zannier. According to Head, there are only two options: either to demilitarisierung " the use of drones, or to make a wider range of capabilities of the OSCE mission to include the military. But in the 2nd case, you will need the consent of Russia as a member of the Organization, but it seems unlikely. The representative of the government of the Federal Republic of Germany on cooperation with Russia Gernot Erler seriously doubt that the mandate of the OSCE mission to Ukraine will be expanded. According to him, This would run counter to the rules of the Organization. Anyway, the German government has abandoned its proposal in force and still waiting for a response from the OSCE. Berlin and Paris notice that the drones will allow the user to monitor the Russian-Ukrainian border and thereby to support long-term ceasefire in the East of Ukraine." We wish to help, " stressed the official Authorized German Foreign Minister Martin Schaefer. But when one of the parties to the conflict informs: " If We notice that this thing flies over us, then just kill her, " the whole initiative is meaningless, says Schaefer.
