Pristina at session of Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly without right to vote (Vecernje Novosti)
Vecernje Novosti reported that the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly holds session this week in Strasbourg without participation of the Serbian delegation as MPs would attend the Assembly of Serbia session on the new government formation.
“Our permanent delegation in Strasbourg would monitor the session. (…) Serbia requested postponement of new Kosovo rapporteur election and this request was granted,” stated to Novosti Chief of the Serbian delegation, Aleksandra Ðurovic.
Asked if she expects new pressures over Kosovo, she stated that the task of the new rapporteur is to observe human rights situation in Kosovo and after conclusions are made, a new resolution would be proposed. Given that rapporteurs have two year to complete the task, she does not expect any proposals on giving additional rights to the delegation from Pristina.
Asked to comment presence of the Pristina delegation, Ðurovic said they have access to plenary hall, would sit exclusively at unmarked seats reserved for guests and will have no right to speak, therefor no attributes of statehood were given to Pristina.
