The meeting consisted of sessions of the General Committee on Political Affairs and Security, the General Committee on Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Questions and the General Committee on Economic Affairs, Science, Technology and Environment, together with a number of Joint Committees which gave space to all the delegates to air their concerns on different issues. The Winter meeting ended with the Standing Committee meeting, comprised of heads of national delegations and Bureau members, in order to discuss administrative issues and guide the work of the Assembly.

In the sidelines of the Winter Meeting, the Maltese delegation held a meeting with the Maltese Embassy in Vienna for a discussion on the work done during the Maltese Presidency of the OSCE, as well as future projects of the Embassy.
