25/06/2024 | 19:28:12 Thank you. Thank you, Madam chair. Dear colleagues. The Report presented before you by Ms Stephanie KRISPER was endorsed by the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. It provides an important reminder of the common rules applying across all member states on asylum policies. In essence, what this Report says is that procedural rights are neither a luxury nor a favour. The right to access the territory of asylum, to excess a fair and the individualised procedure is a... 25/06/2024 | 12:31:59 Thank you. Thank you very much, Mister Minister. Thank you very much for your presentation, but my question for you is definitely about the Russian aggression against not just Ukraine, but the whole of Europe. The question is about the Russian hybrid style of aggression. We see how Russia is not just having a military aggression against Ukraine, but is also making sabotage attacks, terrorist attacks, and also using legal mechanisms. For example, last week I was sentenced by the Russian court... 25/06/2024 | 11:20:15 Dear, dear chair, thank you very much. And would like to thank the rapporteur for an excellent job done. And we are speaking now about youth perspective and youth participation. And by this, what do we usually mean? That young people should take part in politics, that we want young people to vote. Here, there are young people watching what we are doing. I say hello to you. But I want to say hello, yes, and we are happy to see you and that it is very good that you are with us. But I want to... 24/06/2024 | 16:23:27 Oh yes, thank you very much. And yes, as you already heard from our President. Thanks to President Mr Theodoros ROUSOPOULOS and Mr Zsolt NÉMETH, you already know that if before you did not have a convicted and sentenced criminal among your friends and colleagues, now you have. That's me – ten years of prison from a Russian military court. Last week, this was their decision and this is their message to all of us. Yes, definitely, it is a badge of honour. Not just for me in person but for all... 17/04/2024 | 16:37:33 Thank you, President, dear colleagues, We need to give an honest answer to the question. Who is the Russian opposition? The answer is Vladimir Kara-Murza. Yes, he is the Russian opposition because he fought, and he continues to fight even in prison. A Russian volunteer corps, which is now fighting together with Ukrainian armed forces against Putin and his army, they are the real opposition. So, the place of Russian opposition now is not in the restaurants of Monaco, drinking wine there, but... 17/04/2024 | 15:08:52 Thank you very much. First of all I would like to thank you for your recent visit to Kyiv. I would like, by the way, to ask you, Lithuania, which will soon preside our Secretary General. I think the great place for next Committee of Ministers meeting is Ukraine. Kyiv, Odessa or Kharkiv. That's where the fate of our values is decided. My question to you is now more as a representative of Liechtenstein. Maybe, especially after yesterday's resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council... 16/04/2024 | 18:28:47 Thank you very much, Mister President. First of all, I would like to thank Ms Dora BAKOYANNIS. You did a great job! You knew from the beginning that you will be attacked for this report and you did a courageous step and you made a great report. Ευχαριστώ. Thank you very much for doing this. I want to congratulate Kosovo. I am sure now there will be a positive decision. And really Kosovo deserves it, for 100%. That's a very great moment, not just for Kosovo, not just for the Balkans, but for... 16/04/2024 | 16:05:00 Thank you very much, Mister President. You know, we're speaking now about reconstruction of Ukraine, but it looks like wishful thinking. Till the end of this debate, one more Ukrainian village or town will be destroyed by Russians. Destroyed completely to the rubbles. So let us have an honest and fair and pragmatic talk. You know, for years I was addressing this Assembly and Ukraine was addressing the whole world speaking about values. But it looks like not everybody here and in the world is... 25/01/2024 | 11:10:47 Thank you very much, Mr Chair, Thank you to the rapporteur for their great work. And, you know, I want to speak about culture. I think you will be surprised – we are speaking about children now – but I want to speak about culture because sometimes from you and in Europe, I hear, "Oh, we know great Russian culture, and unfortunately, we do not know much about Ukrainian culture". I just want to explain some things. I respect the cultures of all nations. I want to explain something. Do you know... 24/01/2024 | 18:00:37 Thank you very much, Mister President. It is really a very sad moment for me and I think for many of my colleagues. Nothing good is happening right now. We just need to acknowledge this and to understand this. I have a question for all of us. Where will somebody be happy with what is going on now right here? In Moscow, definitely. In Baku? I don't think so. In Strasbourg? No. In Kyiv? No. So, the only player will be happy to see the divisions in the free world is the country which was...
