strict conditions. Were the Office to overstep the mandate and engage
in “activities that go beyond the agreed parameters, the Belarusian
side reserves the right to terminate the activities of the OSCE Office
in Minsk” any time, as the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
warned.

An article by one of this website’s authors for the on-line magazine Novaja Europa:
January 1, 2010 will not be just the beginning of a new year but the
beginning of a new calendar decade. It is a formal and conventional
event, but that’s the way our perception is constructed – it is easier

Noxious Nineties. The 2000s (or “noughties”) will be a separate segment
in systematized history of mankind.
Tens of thousands of protesters marched through the chilly Danish
capital and nearly 1,000 were detained Saturday in a mass rally to
pressure political leaders to sign a legally binding climate change
deal in Copenhagen in the coming week.Police estimated their numbers at 25,000, while organizers said as
many as 100,000 people took part in the march, where delegates from 192
countries began meeting last weekend for the United Nations Climate
Change Conference.
