... especially those vehicles kitted in 1/35! Such as Peugeot P4P, HMMWVs, Land Rovers, etc...
I cannot find much searching the web. This one is a bit small, a teaser...
Thanks in advance for your help!

You're welcome

As far I as I can tell, the pictured tires are Wrangler MTs ("aggressive pattern") on 12-bolt rims...

I was asking myself the same question!
As a side note, I think I'll contact the OSCE's official press office, maybe I can get some information/photos from them, I'll keep you posted.

Could it be the translations of "Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe" in Serbian and Albanian ?
In Serbian OSCE = Организација за европску безбедност и сарадњу
In Albanian OSCE= Organizata për Siguri dhe Bashkëpunim në Evropë

Talking about OSCE Humvees, here's one at the Military museum in Belgrade. You can notice the original orange color showing through :

Now that's funny...I've just came across this picture :
According to the accompanying text, these Landies apparently belong to Henderson Asset Protection LLC (HAP) a company formed in 1998 in Kosovo to provide Asset Protection (armed cash in transit and manned guarding) services to the UN, Financial Institutions and NGOs...
The previous similar picture I've posted came from the OSCE website.
Photoshop at its best ?

I've come across numerous private security/military companies that use pictures not entirely their own on their websites. I found one recently where I'd say 99% of the pictures on the website were from US military websites. I would agree that its probably a photoshop of the OSCE picture.

Hi Mauro
Yes it's a Mitsubishi Pajero. Here's a front view of another one :
http://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/51101140/Getty-Images-News AFAIK there's no 1/35 kit for it, and the 1/32 diecast models I've found replicate other versions :
older one ;

newer one :
