23/06/2026 | 16:45:51 Dear President, Dear colleagues and friends, Since the tragic collapse of the canopy at the Novi Sad railway station in November 2024, which killed 16 people, Serbian society has been shaken and rightly outraged. This tragedy was only the tip of the iceberg. Widely perceived as the result of corruption and negligence, the incident became a catalyst for mass protests across the country. And what has been the response of President Aleksandar VUČIĆ’s regime? A demonstration of brute power... 22/04/2026 | 13:08:25 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Let me start with thanking Ms Zita GURMAI for both important and very well prepared reports and resolutions. I believe we would all prefer it if we would not have to deal with these topics anymore. That would mean that the world, society and homes are safe for women. But they are not. And we unfortunately see not only positive changes but also a backlash. And I would like to mention two trends which I found very worrying: Firstly, it is very... 21/04/2026 | 18:47:30 Thank you, Chairwoman. And thank you, Mr Francesco VERDUCCI, for this important report. In our liberal group, we are committed to promoting two fundamental principles.

Dear colleagues, Dear friends, I would like to speak about my experience, but this is not only about me.

I am choosing to speak in personal terms, not just to make a general point, but to show what we are actually facing in reality. As a female queer politician, advocating for the rights of women and LGBTI people, this is what I have experienced in just two past years. I... 01/10/2025 | 10:18:07 Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, dear friends, Today, we are discussing the deeply troubling situation unfolding in Serbia, a country caught in a democratic backsliding. Since the tragic collapse of the Novi Sad train station canopy almost a year ago, which killed 16 people, including children, Serbian society has been shaken. The incident, widely suspected to have been caused by corruption and negligence, became a spark for mass outrage. Instead of accountability, the government... 23/06/2025 | 12:21:36 Dear colleagues, dear friends, on behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) group, I would like to express our deep concern over the ongoing erosion of human rights standards across Europe. Just last week in Slovakia, the final debate took place on a constitutional amendment, with the final vote scheduled for September. This proposed change includes a provision that openly undermines the supremacy of international human rights treaties and obligations. It asserts that...
