25/06/2026 | 15:52:13 Thank you. When preparing to speak speak on the topic of this debate, my first thought was to come up with the statistics to mention some of the old resolutions that we have worked on here to mention, still, after all this time and all these years, how few cases of domestic violence are solved in time. The only statistics that I'm going to share today with you is that only 2% of all domestic violence cases are being reported. For the sake of not breaking the rules, I will just show you this... 24/06/2026 | 20:12:08 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Critical voices in Azerbaijan have become increasingly important in challenging the country's political system and drawing attention to concerns about democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. Independent journalists, opposition figures, human rights defenders, and civil society activists have repeatedly criticised the government for restricting political freedoms and limiting public scrutiny of those in power. Many critics argue... 24/06/2026 | 10:19:58 Thank you, Madam President. Gender stereotypes in the media are generalised and often misleading representations of individuals based on socially constructed expectations of gender. These stereotypes significantly influence public attitudes, shape cultural norms and contribute to the perpetuation of gender inequality. That is why eliminating gender stereotypes in the media is a crucial step toward fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Traditionally, media outlets have portrayed... 23/06/2026 | 17:09:28 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I made a little research before coming into this debate. And yes, the last report on Serbia was in 2012. North Macedonia, besides the closing of the post-monitoring period, 2019. Kosovo, the one and only, 2024. Albania, 2024. The only notion supporting a European perspective for the Western Balkans 2022 and 2016, Montenegro, 2021. So we cannot be surprised at regional destabilisation is the writing on the wall, when we all think about Western Balkans... 22/06/2026 | 12:18:25 Thank you, Madam President. Restoration of international law, the historic safeguarding of democracy and leading countries through their hardest times and challenges are some of the main points of this report. Talking about historic: we had two historical elections. The one in Bulgaria, that after eight cycles of early parliamentary elections, they elected a new government. They exited the political crisis and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe was always present with them... 23/04/2026 | 17:41:12 Thank you, Mister Chair. Copyright enforcement in the artificial intelligence environment has become a central issue within the broader framework of intellectual property rights. As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly rely on large-scale datasets to train models, they often incorporate copyrighted materials such as books, images, music and software. This creates tension between innovation and the legal protections granted to creators, raising questions about how existing... 23/04/2026 | 10:25:30 Thank you, Madam President The war in Ukraine is not just a regional conflict; it is a defining moment for the international order and the principles that underpin it. At its core, this war is about sovereignty, the fundamental right of a nation to determine its own future without external coercion. When one state invades another to redraw borders by force, it challenges the very framework that has helped prevent large-scale wars in Europe for decades. One of the clearest arguments in... 22/04/2026 | 18:05:21 Thank you, Madam Chair. The question we need to ask about a death penalty is not whether someone deserves to die for a crime, but the question is whether we deserve to kill. Why abolish the death penalty? Because it is an irreversible punishment that carries a profound risk of executing innocent people, undermining the very foundation of justice it claims to uphold. No legal system is infallible. Wrongful convictions occur due to flawed evidence, coerced confessions, inadequate legal... 22/04/2026 | 13:04:15 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) "You will either mine or you will be dead"! These are one of the thousands of threats a 31 year old Rosica received by her partner who later killed her and her father. Rosica kept going to the authorities, but no answer nor reaction was there. 26 women were killed in 5 years in north macedonia. In 2024 5 women were killled. Only two of them reported domestic violence. 2023 was the most difficult year so far in terms of femicide, with 9... 21/04/2026 | 11:10:19 Thank you first and foremost to the rapporteur for this report that, in my opinion, is one of the most important here, not just for us, but also for our societies. Today, with social media, we have become very easy targets as politicians. If you open any of your Facebook, Instagram or any other social posts that you have made, even today, the most widely used words would be "prison", "corrupt", "traitor", "stupid" – and I don't think I'm even allowed to say the words that are being used for...
