Background
The OSCE Mission to Skopje is the Organization's longest-serving field mission. In 2001, during a seven-month conflict in the country, the strength of the Mission grew steadily in response to an increased need. Following the internationally-brokered Ohrid Framework Agreement of August that year, which sealed the end of the fighting by ensuring the rights of all in the country, the OSCE took on an enhanced mandate which eventually more than quadrupled the size of the Mission.
