The seminar led by H.E. Amb. Andrea Cascone on April 4, 2025, which examined the nuanced role of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), proved to be a remarkable success!

The students were quite interested in the participation of Amb. Cascone and posed a number of questions on the present security strategy, which included economic and environmental, human, and political-military issues.

For his invaluable contribution to the EUVALWEB Jean Monnet Chair, we would like to congratulate and commend the Ambassador.
