10/10/2023 | 19:37:57 Thank you very much, Mister President, I would like to start by congratulating the two Rapporteurs for this detailed report and perhaps also critical report on some points - but I think that is also the task of this periodic procedure, which we have introduced because - and I am a great believer in this - because when I started here, 12 or 13 years ago, there was this idea that there are the teachers and the students of democracy. There are those who come from the post-socialist states; who... 09/10/2023 | 16:49:07 Thank you, Mister President, Earlier we also discussed in the progress report how in several regions of Europe unresolved conflicts are breaking out again, turning into violence. An example of this is the situation in northern Kosovo, where on 24 September a Kosovo police patrol was ambushed, one policeman was killed, and two were injured. At first, it looked like that was going to continue to escalate. However, it must be said that it was possible to mitigate this escalation to some extent... 09/10/2023 | 15:55:12 Thank you very much, Mister President, The view that we have when we begin this debate, at the beginning of each assembly, as a progress report, is the idea that we are making progress in terms of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and peaceful co-existence.

I certainly thank her for this report. I think it contains many important points, even though I would not reject everything that has been said right now from the conservative side. I will say, I was a rapporteur for an international organisation on the first report on Covid-19, which was about lessons learned from Covid-19 for a future and rights-based response to Covid-19... 19/06/2023 | 15:34:23 Thank you very much, Mister President. It is good that the Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe have met in Reykjavík, for only the fourth time in history, by the way. I can say I hope that it will not be another 18 years before the next Summit takes place, but that it will take place more frequently. Nevertheless, I would like to note a few critical observations that I also noted in the Standing Committee in Reykjavík. I have the impression that our discourse in the Council...
