26/01/2023 | 11:47:43 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Dear colleagues, Dear Ms Oleksandra MATVIICHUK, Let me start by thanking the rapporteur for his work, as well as the Secretariat for the dedication. This report is based on a motion for a resolution tabled on 17 March 2022, the day after the expulsion of the Russian Federation from the Council of Europe. The Committee on Legal Affairs has examined already some of the aspects covered by this report in an urgent debate report on the Russian Federation's aggression... 25/01/2023 | 16:28:30 Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, This is an important issue in itself, but it's even more important given the geopolitical situation we are in now, in Europe. Mr Putin would love to have now a new conflict in the Western Balkans. But I do believe that our colleagues from both Serbia and Kosovo want exactly the contrary: peace and stability.

Let me also thank Mr Pieter OMTZIGT for this report, as well as Mr Stefan SCHENNACH for preparing the opinion. As explained in the report, there is conclusive evidence that Daesh has committed genocidal acts against the Yazidis as well as against Christians and non-Sunni Muslim minorities. This evidence has been collected and reported by the UN Commission of inquiry on Syria as well as the UN investigative team to promote accountability for crimes committed... 11/10/2022 | 11:13:07 Dear Colleagues, I hope that we all still remember the concept of Europe: whole, free, and at peace. That was the ordering concept after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but it has been challenged. It has been challenged by the neoliberal strategy of the Russian Federation, by the geopolitical concept of the Russian world. We saw that applied already in 2008 in Georgia and then afterwards and today in Ukraine. That was a challenge to the concept of Europe: whole, free, and at peace. That has...
