Origin
2024 - Second part-session
In the draft opinion, replace paragraph 18 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly is aware of the unprecedented circumstances of this application, as a number of Council of Europe member States do not recognise Kosovo as a State. Diplomacy, dialogue and compromise are necessary to ensure that the prospective admission of Kosovo does not create a fracture in the unity of Council of Europe member States, thus undermining the spirit of the Reykjavik Summit. The Assembly, therefore, invites the Committee of Ministers to ensure that Kosovo acts in accordance with the Agreement on Regional Representation and Cooperation reached on 24 February 2012 under the European Union facilitated dialogue and fully implements other agreements reached under the EU facilitated dialogue."
