10/04/2025 | 11:11:13 President and dear colleagues, I am a strong believer in dialogue. Through the history of the Council of Europe, dialogue has been the most prominent tool. We do not have economic or military power to enforce values or principles on nations or states. We have the power of dialogue! That is why I voted in favor of the resolution on Georgia in January. To maintain dialogue, we ratified the credentials of the Georgian delegation, but with some limitations. Still, the Georgian delegation chose to... 09/04/2025 | 17:00:05 Dear President, Dear colleagues, The backsliding of democracy has become a most pressing issue in this Assembly. This week we are debating several concrete examples of this. Türkiye is one country where the backsliding is happening before our eyes.

I congratulate you on this important report. Eight years have passed... 08/04/2025 | 10:39:59 President, colleagues, The election in Moldova is fresh in our minds. Foreign interference was significant. We must be vigilant in the upcoming parliamentary election. In the draft resolution our rapporteur proposed developing a broad-based definition of foreign interference. This is important. We all have a notion of what foreign interference is, but a definition we all agree on would make it easier to counter this threat. A clear distinction between foreign interference and foreign... 30/01/2025 | 11:36:10 Thank you, Madam President. I would like to start with recalling our resolution of last January, "A Democratic Future for Belarus", in which we agreed to allow regular participation of a representative delegation of the Belarusian democratic forces in the work of our Parliamentary Assembly. Today, a year later, we have the first ever Belarusian delegation present in the hemicycle and included in our work. Words matter, Madam President, but they matter more when they are followed up by action...
