Following the first round of negotiations in January 2014 in Vienna, the second Model OSCE simulation takes place in Belgrade. The Swiss OSCE Chairmanship organises the event in close cooperation with the Serbian Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Vanja Udovičić, the Serbian Minister of Youth and Sports, and Ambassador Dejan Šahović, Head of the Serbian OSCE Chairmanship Task Force 2015, opened the conference. During these three days in Belgrade, the 57 Youth Ambassadors from the OSCE participating States are to continue their negotiations on the Model OSCE Youth Action Plan. The aim of the conference is to adopt the document by consensus within the framework of a simulated Model OSCE Ministerial Council.

The Youth Ambassadors will present their Youth Action Plan during the Ministerial Council in Basel in December 2014. The Model OSCE Youth Action plan covers a broad spectrum of OSCE topics, including education, protection of minorities, conflict prevention and environmental questions.
