25/04/2023 | 16:59:16 Thank you. Dear colleagues. I think that the main question now that of the all people of Europe are asking is, what can we expect from the Reykjavík Summit? I think that it is very important to understand that in times when a lot of other international organisations became weaker, our organisation must have all of the possibility to become stronger than we were before. Over the last decades, from the establishment of our organisation, the whole of Europe and the whole world changed... 26/01/2023 | 11:29:38 Mr President, dear colleagues, I want to thank the rapporteur for this excellent document because it's not only a document.

So it was his reaction when he know that any one military object was destroyed. But he fulfilled all his tasks. Second, if you can imagine what is now on occupied territories, where tortures, each day tortures, by the secret services of Russia against... 11/10/2022 | 11:29:41 Thank you Mr President, thank you Mr Rapporteur. I think that Mr George PAPANDREOU found a lot of answers fortunately to very complicated questions, but unfortunately we have more questions than answers. So this discussion is very important not only to the Western Balkans; it's very important to the whole European Union and to all unions of European peoples. First of all, of course it's a war of civilisations. When my previous colleagues mentioned the new fascist regime of Putin in Russia...
