This contribution examines the co-operation between the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with an emphasis on the developments since the end of the Cold War, and particularly following the turn of the century. The contribution starts by introducing the basics of the relationship and its evolution over the years, focusing on the factors that made the revival of co-operation possible at the end of the 1990s. This is followed by a comparison of the two entities' identical security strategies and their field presence in the same regions, before turning to some of the shortcomings of the relationship, and the steps that have been taken by both sides to address them. Finally, the conclusion provides answers to the main research questions: How successful has the co-operation been, and can the relationship be classified as a case of mutualism? (OSCE Yearbook/Pll)

This paper examines the relationship between the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with a particular focus on the restart in cooperation occurring at the turn of the century. This was due to the rediscovery of the organisations' common past, shared values, similar goals, the drawing of identical security strategies and an increased field presence in the same regions. The EU-OSCE relationship has not been without its shortcomings, but the successes of the cooperation have outnumbered the various hurdles. Furthermore, the relationship can be classified as a case of mutualism, as both partners have benefited therefrom.
