There all the functions for monitoring the truce is completely devoted to the OSCE. The situation until does not dictate that introduced fresh elements, for example, peacekeeping by the United Nations. If and when such a need arises, and we will see that the strength of the OSCE There is not enough, perhaps, it would make sense to introduce new forms, "the Russian diplomat said, RIA" Novosti ".
