OSCE Missions and Field Activities are the front line of OSCE work in countries that require assistance and are the agent through which political decisions are translated into action. The OSCE Mission to Skopje is the Organization's longest-serving field mission. Based on the mandated priorities for the Mission, the Mission’s current activities are grouped in four main strategic areas: Inter-ethnic relations, including early warning; Rule of Law, Democratic Governance; and Transnational Threats.

- Police Development
- Rule of Law
- Democratic Governance
- Social Cohesion
- Administration, etc.
Applicants’ successful placement on the Temporary Assistance Roster is subject to their meeting the minimum qualification and skill level for the position, and does not express or imply any guarantee of employment with the OSCE Mission to Skopje.
