29/01/2026 | 19:25:05 Thank you President. I speak Italian. As our colleagues have already mentioned, our rapporteurs' report states that much progress has been made in North Macedonia and that the country has gradually consolidated democracy, the rule of law, and the rules that govern full democratic life. However, our rapporteurs also emphasised that we still need to make progress on crucial issues: the fight against corruption, according to the indications that the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) has... 29/01/2026 | 12:34:32 Thank you President. I thank all those who participated in the debate. It seems to me that most of the speeches corresponded to the report I presented and they shared it. I would like to focus these few seconds on one point: Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO asked a question. Beyond making declarations, beyond being outraged, beyond having pronouncements against what is happening in Iran and also denouncing what is happening in Syria: what do we actually do? The question is not without meaning. We all... 29/01/2026 | 11:26:21 I will speak Italian. The Israel-Palestine conflict has triggered a sequence of events that have affected the entire broader Middle East, aggravating the already existing crises in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran and redrawing the political balance of the entire region. At the centre is, of course, the Israel-Palestine conflict. The massacre perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October and the subsequent fierce war in Gaza have deeply marked the lives of millions of Israelis and Palestinians. Today we... 27/01/2026 | 19:33:24 Thank you President. I thank the rapporteurs. From the picture the rapporteurs have given us I think we have to draw, let us say, a great concern. A great concern because Bosnia is at risk. In fact, Bosnia has been at risk ever since its establishment, after the Dayton and Rambouillet agreements. It was determined, on the basis of an international agreement, the formation of this state, bringing together the different communities, a state with two state entities, Srpska and the Muslim-Croat... 27/01/2026 | 18:42:53 Since I saved two minutes in the introduction, I ask that they be used for this reply. First of all, I would like to thank all those who spoke in the debate and said that most of the speeches were in absolute agreement with the report, and I also thank them for their appreciation, so I will not add things that I have already said in the report. I would just like to say a few things instead by interjecting the interventions that I heard in dissent. I want to say to Mr Alessandro GIGLIO VIGNA... 27/01/2026 | 17:12:20 Thank you, Mister President. I will speak Italian. Almost four years have passed since Russia attacked Ukraine. An aggression that began in 2014, when Moscow militarily occupied and unilaterally annexed Crimea. A war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and devastated an entire country. We all want, after four years, for them to put down their weapons and start negotiations. But if this has not happened so far, it is because PUTIN pursues a peace based on a military victory and a... 02/10/2025 | 12:12:14 Thank you President. I'm going to speak Italian. We are all obviously affected by the suffering, the mourning, the devastation that has been tormenting the people of Gaza for two years. And we are also fully aware of the many violations of rights that have taken place in these two years. And how Israel's right to self-defence, which we have all recognised, has in reality often been turned into a collective punishment of the Palestinian people. That is why I think that right now we must focus... 02/10/2025 | 10:21:15 I would like to thank my colleague Mr Iulian BULAI for his excellent report, which shows the dramatic leap forward we are facing. Russian aggression now extends to new areas, which go far beyond just wartime warfare. The bombardment of Ukrainian cities has intensified enormously, something that Kyiv and other cities have not known for a long time, with an enormous burden of devastation, mourning, and suffering. There is a massing on the Ukrainian-Russian border of Russian troops with a view... 01/10/2025 | 17:34:16 Thank you, Mister President. I'm going to speak Italian. I think the document we are examining is very important, because it is the concretisation of our commitment, of one of the most important commitments we have made on Ukraine. Ukraine has become one of the central themes of the Council of Europe's activity, through the Action Plan for Ukraine, through the establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, and above all the Register of Damages. I would... 01/10/2025 | 10:09:50 Thank you, President. I am going to speak in Italian. We are talking about Serbia, a large country, the largest country in the Western Balkans, which has always played a leading role in that region. For the past seven months, Serbia has been shaken by continuous demonstrations (by students, youth, but not only) by a large part of the population, following the incident seven months ago that saw 16 victims in the collapse of a bus shelter in Novi Sad and that gave rise to a thousand...
