08/04/2025 | 18:08:16 Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start with the following sentences. It's time for the voice of the majority to be heard, not the noise of the minority. A tragedy occurred in Serbia in Novi Sad of last year, which is a position used in the most brutal way, protesting against the government. Serbia is the only country where force was not used against protesters. Whereas the police did use it against protesters in the other European countries. Every day the blockaders and... 07/04/2025 | 16:34:32 Thank you so much. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, Elections were held in the southern Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohia. I cannot agree with the statements from the report of my esteemed colleague Ms Petra BAYR. I would like to point out that the final election results were awaited for more than 30 days, which indicates that there has been serious manipulation of the election results, and that in any country, one does not wait that long for the final results. But this should not... 27/01/2025 | 17:35:13 Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2 Distinguished colleagues, the Republic of Serbia will continue its work towards reaching the Council of Europe’s high standards and values.

On the other hand, accession of some entities or territories to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is even worse. But I will stick to the topic. I believe that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of... 16/04/2024 | 18:21:06 Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, Ms Dora BAKOYANNIS, I wish to congratulate you for what you are doing today because you will go down in history as someone who, in the most brutal manner, violated all the norms of international law in the principles upon which this organisation is founded. You have decided to trample on international law and admit into the Council of Europe something that is not a state, bypassing all procedures. Ms Dora BAKOYANNIS clearly stated that so-called Kosovo had to...
