MOSCOW, June 23 — RIA Novosti. The delegation of the Russian Federation will not go to Canada for the summer session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, since there are no security guarantees, said Vice Speaker of the State Duma Petr Tolstoy.
«No. We are not going, because neither the OSCE leadership nor Canada provided us with any guarantees to ensure a normal visa regime and the safe stay of the Russian delegation, without which there can be no normal work in the assembly in Vancouver,» he said .
Moreover, attempts are being made to change the regulations and destroy the consensus principle of decision-making, which is unacceptable, he said.
«After our victory, everything will change, but it will be too late for those who are trying to squeeze Russia out of the OSCE,» Tolstoy said.
