CITIZENSHIP WORKSHOP Dagomys, Russian Federation 27 - 30 October 1993 The ODIHR co-sponsored a workshop on citizenship and related issues with the International Organisation for Migration and the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. This workshop, which took place in Dagomys on the Russian coast of the Black Sea, brought together representatives of fourteen republics of the former Soviet Union, representatives of the sponsoring organisations as well as members of the American, Canadian, Austrian and Swedish diplomatic communities and the Council of Europe. Turkmenistan was unable to send a representative due to a national holiday. Papers and topics discussed at the workshop included the following issues: statelessness and migration, CSCE standards on national minorities and citizenship, current legislation on citizenship in NIS states, the work of the Council of Europe in the field of nationality, the social basis of democratic citizenship, as well as future forms of co-operation. The Workshop was the first occasion where all (but one) Newly Independent States have met to discuss these issues. All agreed at the close of the workshop that it would be worthwhile to call such a meeting on a regular basis CSCE ODIHR BULLETIN Vol. 2, No. 1 53
