Ukrainian foreign minister and OSCE chairman-in-office Leonid Kozhara has called to step up cooperation in conflict resolution, strengthen peace and security in the OSCE region on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation, the press service of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry informed.
