OSCE 2014: The View from Bern

Editor's Note: To close our week-long look at Switzerland's Chairmanship of the OSCE in 2014, we talked with Raphael Nägeli, who is the Deputy Head of the Swiss OSCE Chairmanship Task Force. In the following podcast, we specifically ask him about Bern's priorities for the year and some of the challenges its representatives expect to face, including trying to bridge the current divide between the Eastern and Western wings of the organization. Mr Nägeli then concludes his comments by clarifying the role that Switzerland will be expected to play once Serbia assumes the OSCE Chairmanship in 2015.
