In the draft resolution, after paragraph 24, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly calls on the Serbian authorities to ensure the effective protection of the rights of persons belonging to national minorities, including the Albanian community in the Preševo Valley, notably through equal access to public services and institutions, meaningful participation in public life, and the transparent and non-discriminatory application of residence-status checks. It further calls on the authorities to address concerns regarding the ‘passivisation’ of residential addresses affecting members of the Albanian minority, to ensure effective remedies, and to restore rights where such measures were unlawfully or discriminatorily applied."
