22/04/2026 | 10:47:03 Hello. Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, First of all I would like to thank the rapporteur for having been all this year a fair and correct political opponent. We regret to hear that she will soon finish her mandate. We would have welcomed continued co-operation to address the gaps that remain in this report. While the report briefly mentions children, early enforced marriage and female genital mutilation, it remains silent on where these practices still occur.

The report provides a realistic assessment of the state of the post-monitoring dialogue with the Republic of North Macedonia and clearly indicates both the progress made and the remaining shortcomings. Although there have been developments in certain areas, structural reform remains incomplete and issues such as the independence of the... 03/10/2025 | 11:25:37 Mister President. First of all, I would like to thank Mr Sergiy VLASENKO for taking this important initiative, because the issues addressed are fundamental for protecting the rights of the members of this Parliamentary Assembly and preserving trust, independence and credibility in our institution.
