28/09/2026 | 15:38:16 Thank you, Madam Chair. Allow me to say a few words on the Election Observation Mission in Kosovo, in which I had the chance to participate. Female representation was down to 34%. The participation of women in TV debates was down to 20%. Misinformation campaigns, foreign influence, voter fatigue and low turnout: these are all signs for the politicians in Kosovo that greater importance and care need to be afforded to domestic issues and less to other countries and situations. Greater attention... 25/06/2026 | 15:52:13 Thank you. When preparing to speak speak on the topic of this debate, my first thought was to come up with the statistics to mention some of the old resolutions that we have worked on here to mention, still, after all this time and all these years, how few cases of domestic violence are solved in time. The only statistics that I'm going to share today with you is that only 2% of all domestic violence cases are being reported. For the sake of not breaking the rules, I will just show you this... 24/06/2026 | 20:12:08 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Critical voices in Azerbaijan have become increasingly important in challenging the country's political system and drawing attention to concerns about democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.

Gender stereotypes in the media are generalised and often misleading representations of individuals based on socially constructed expectations of gender. These stereotypes significantly influence public attitudes, shape cultural norms and contribute to the perpetuation of gender inequality. That is why eliminating gender stereotypes in the media is a crucial step toward fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Traditionally, media outlets have portrayed... 23/06/2026 | 17:09:28 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I made a little research before coming into this debate. And yes, the last report on Serbia was in 2012. North Macedonia, besides the closing of the post-monitoring period, 2019. Kosovo, the one and only, 2024. Albania, 2024. The only notion supporting a European perspective for the Western Balkans 2022 and 2016, Montenegro, 2021. So we cannot be surprised at regional destabilisation is the writing on the wall, when we all think about Western Balkans...
