25/06/2024 | 11:16:30 Thank you, chair. And I want to commend the rapporteurs for their excellent work on this really really important topic, because the fire within the heart of our youth certainly can be the catalyst for positive change within society and within all of the communities that we represent.

During our proposed progress report yesterday, I took the opportunity to say that one of our priorities this week should be the adoption of a very clear and unequivocal position on Kosovo's request for membership in the Council of Europe.
