Then again
https://nitter.cz/SlawomirDebski
, it's always been fairly useless.
The 1999 Summit decision on troop withdrawals from Georgia and Moldovaa quarter century later remain unimplemented.
As one senior US official once told me, "It's just a Russia handling organization"
Just let it die.

Go over to multiple mandate election districts as in most democracies in Europe, i.e. get rid on first past the post, which leads inevitable to just two parties (cf. Duverger's Law,
