Summary/Abstract: The changes going on in the security environment—the enlargements of NATO and the EU, the consequences of the events of 11 September 2001—have necessitated a discussion about the place taken in the process of European security building by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). As was pointed out by Minister W³odzimierz Cimoszewicz in his foreign policy address to the Sejm, delivered on 21 January 2004, many international organisations may lose in importance unless indispensable transformations are instituted—and this also holds for the OSCE in its regional operations.
