18/03/2008 Monitoring
Strasbourg, 18.03.2008 - At its meeting in Paris today, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) Monitoring Committee decided to declassify the draft report on the honouring of obligations and commitments by Serbia.
The report has not yet been approved by the committee and therefore only reflects the postion of the co-rapporteurs Andreas Gross (Switzerland, SOC) and Charles Goerens (Luxembourg, ALDE).
Initially foreseen for debate at the PACE April session, it has been postponed in order to avoid any interference with the early Serbian general election to be held on 11 May. The committee instructed the co-rapporteurs to update the report in the light of the results of the parliamentary election.
This is the first draft report on Serbia following the dissolution of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. It takes stock of developments in the fields of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
