16/04/2024 | 18:39:07 Thank you, Mister President. Dear president, distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, there have been many meetings, sessions, debates, committees since yesterday that created a feeling to all of us that this April session will have a joint theme, and it is going to be the membership of Kosovo in the Council of Europe. Being an ethnic Albanian from North Macedonia, of course that allows me and makes me feel this theme as a very important one, for Albanians, for the region, and last but... 26/01/2023 | 12:43:35 Thank you Mr President, thank you Ms Prime Minister for your bright presentation. I fully agree that Iceland is taking over the Presidency of the Committee of Ministers in a very critical time for Europe, a time in which war has returned to Europe.

This concern - besides our specific relations and connections with the people of Kosovo - comes also for three other reasons. Both countries are our neighbours; we are already part of NATO and alliance and security and stability of the region is one of our priorities; and we are actually presiding with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in... 22/06/2022 | 12:58:11 Thank you. Your Excellency, Dear Colleagues, Dear Chair, I come from North Macedonia, a country that had to change its name and became a member of NATO. It makes us feel more protected nowadays, but unfortunately the rest - and also North Macedonia as a country from the Western Balkans - has open disputes with other countries within the western Balkans. They are not all members of the European Union. They have open disputes - and to be sincere, the spirit of open disputes can be felt even in...
