BERLIN : Alphabet Soup II
The emerging democracies of Central and Eastern Europe, formerly part of the disbanded Warsaw Pact, will be the focus of another key meeting this week--the gathering of Foreign Ministers from the 34-member Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
It will be the first session of the CSCE Council of Ministers since it was designated last year as the central political forum of the newly reorganized conference. The German hosts want to establish a new structure that would give security assurances to Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. The CSCE groups all the European nations plus the Soviet Union, the United States and Canada.
