Officials from the Organization for Cooperation and Security in Europe (OSCE) have criticized the actions of the local opposition forces in Kyrgyzstan that have triggered disorder and unrest in the southern part of the country, a source close to the OSCE Center in Bishkek told Interfax on Tuesday. \"Representatives from this organization in Bishkek have made harshly critical comments on the opposition\'s actions, assessing them as anti-constitutional and going beyond the acceptable limits,\" the source said. In private conversations, OSCE representatives \"agree that among the motives behind the opposition\'s unfolding destructive actions was the conclusion that the monitoring mission of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) made following the first round of the elections,\" he said.The Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst is a biweekly publication of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program, a Joint Transatlantic Research and Policy Center affiliated with the American Foreign Policy Council, Washington DC., and the Institute for Security and Development Policy, Stockholm.
