There is no good argument to delay a vote on Kosovo joining the @coe:
@Dora_Bakoyannis:
“No candidate member has ever been asked to undertake so many reforms before even being brought up for discussion on its accession to the Organization. This is probably why 83% of the…
In a nutshell: "Belgrade prohibits Kosovo-Serb politicians from taking initiative to establish an association of K-Serb municipalities or from supporting existing @coe-compliant ideas to do so, but at the same time loudly complains about the lack of such an association." @faznet

PACE strongly recommends: Kosovo should join the Council of Europe: 131 to 29.
The assembly wrote history today.
Congratulations 🇽🇰 & @coe@D_Schwarzer@fromTGA@RoryStewartUK

This is a powerful recommendation from Paris for Kosovo to join Council of Europe - despite Easter holiday keeping many MPs away.
31 in favor
4 against
Strong signal to 🇪🇺
Very well done @Dora_Bakoyannis@PACE_Newsx.com/PACE_News/stat…
Who will vote for #AfD?

In December 2006🇧🇦finished negotiations on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA), 2 weeks after🇲🇪.
In March 2024🇧🇦got the green light to open EU accession negotiations, 12 years after🇲🇪!
After many arbitrary delays, a more than highly overdue step.
Congratulations!

Another text about divided #Mostar, yet again.
2/3 of this article is about the 1990s. The youngest person quoted is 70!
Will the day ever come when someone puts clichés aside and writes a capturing story of the Mostar of #today?

The 🇳🇱 government's position on starting 🇪🇺 accession talks with 🇧🇦 is out & it is NOT negative!
🔹Cautious about the recommendation.
🔹Acknowledges various steps made since November 2023.
🔹Expects that all other 🇪🇺 member states will agree to open negotiations & it that case…
With all due respect to the US Special Envoy to the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, the Council of Europe is making things possible that others could not achieve. And we will decide on Kosovo's application for membership based on our own rules and values. @socpace@PACE_News
We appreciate Escobar's concerns, but can assure him that @PACE_News will independently define 🇽🇰 membership criteria for @coe and assess their fulfilment. The US would not fulfil these criteria because of the death penalty.

Let's imagine that next week the #EU27 accept the European Commission's recommendation(s) on unconditional start of 🇪🇺 accession talks with 🇧🇦 & conditional adoption of the negotiating framework.
