If the ramifications become destructive in the next few years, the development of preventive strategies and solutions will have a special significance. Achim Maas, a Project Manager at adelphi, presented the results of the study at the annual OSCE employee meeting, held in Vienna, 3 February. The study will serve as an input paper for developing scenarios that can be used in the OSCE regions, thereby providing a basis to establish concrete measures that avoid conflict. The study is scheduled to be published in late February/early March 2010.
