Yesterday's meeting was organized after warnings from Russia that it would not cooperate with the OSCE unless it reviewed some of its traditional practices.
Russia disagrees with the organization's focus on human rights and election monitoring.
The meeting was convened by the International Helsinki Federation, which invited more than 150 diplomats and political experts.
Reform of the OSCE will also be discussed in Vienna on 12-13 September by senior diplomats from OSCE's 55 member states.
