Over two days the Working Group, comprised of American and Russian officials and headed on the Russian side by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislyak, will discuss a broad range of topics, including Afghanistan, counter-narcotics, transportation security, terrorist financing, and law enforcement.

In Slovenia, the Under Secretary will head the U.S. delegation to the OSCE Ministerial to deliver a message of strong U.S. support for the OSCE and recognize its vital role in expanding democracy, security, and human rights in Europe and Eurasia in the 30 years since the signing of the Helsinki Final Act.
