22/06/2023 | 19:42:32 Thank you very much. Is there any objection to this proposal? Not the case. That means that Amendments number 56 to 62 to the draft recommendation are rejected. I call now Mr Samad SEYIDOV to support... Sometimes things take time, sometimes things go fast. That means we now are going to vote on the draft Recommendation.

I remind you that we must finish examining these... 21/06/2023 | 15:08:51 Madam President, today here in France, it is the day of the "Fête de la musique" [World Music Day] and I think that much of what you said did sound like music in the ears of our Assembly because the texts suit rather well in the report that we wrote and during the preparation of the 4th Summit. But as we are politicians, we always have something to add and you will see that when our colleagues are now given the floor to ask you questions. So, first, we will take five questions from the... 21/06/2023 | 14:39:58 Dear colleagues, Ladies and gentlemen, It is my pleasure now to welcome amongst us Her Excellency, the President of the Republic of Slovenia. Madam President, it is such an honour to have you here with us, with us in the year of the 30th anniversary, I think, of Slovenia's accession to the Council of Europe, a milestone in your history and in our history.
