Transparency and openness will be the main theme of Sweden’s chairmanship of the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation (FSC). The opening session under Sweden’s chairmanship was held on Wednesday 5 September 2018 at Hofburg, Vienna. “Sweden believes that challenges to European security must be met through deepened co-operation and joint action. But on a national level, every country must accept its share of the responsibility”, said Mr. Jan Salestrand, State Secretary to the Minister for Defence, Sweden, during his opening statement.
