Romania has not issued visas to the delegations of Russia and Belarus to participate in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly session . The OSCE PA session will be held in Romania from June 29 to July 3.

It brings together 57 countries from Europe, Asia, and North America. Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine are among the OSCE members. In February 2024, the OSCE activated the Moscow Mechanism to investigate civilian Ukrainians held hostage by Russia.
