ABSTRACT
The formal end of the Cold War was stated at the 1990 Paris Summit of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), convened by its participating states to address the new issues facing the Conference. The CSCE's involvement in Estonia happened at a time of much instability and tension, both at the internal level and at the international level. The development of permanent decision-making and operational organisms in the various dimensions of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) activity has allowed the incorporation of its new tasks of preventive diplomacy, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation. The Mission pursues a multi-dimensional approach, addressing the various levels and all sectors of Estonian society and reports on the country's situation and implementation of policies. The OSCE Mission provides assistance to the Estonian authorities in the implementation of the integration strategy through a multi-faceted approach, encompassing language and education, cultural affairs, out-of-school activities, and regional development.
