That's exactly the point. The OSCE is a multilateral organization, consisting of states in and around Europe, with a direct interest in protecting Europe's long term stability. The OSCE will be monitoring the American elections solely with the purpose of knowing if the US can still be trusted when it comes to organizing fair elections.
The OSCE acts out of self-interest, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's the same as when the US goes to monitor other states. They basically want to know for themselves with what kind of political system they are dealing.
In this sense, the US shouldn't see this as a humiliation, but rather as an information gathering process carried out by Europeans, for Europeans.
