CoE plans agreement on accountability for crimes committed in Ukraine war
Change language:
The head of parliament’s foreign affairs council welcomed on Monday the Council of Europe’s decision to pass an international agreement aimed at ensuring accountability for crimes committed in the Ukraine war.
Zsolt Németh told MTI by phone on the first working day of the spring sessions at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that the CoE was compiling a report on the losses caused by Russia’s military aggression.
The agreement, planned to be signed at a summit in Reykjavik in May could prove to be an important achievement, he said.
The CoE‘s Committee of Ministers has asked the General Assembly to present its position on Kosovo’s membership in the CoE, Németh said. This represents a risk for the Reykjavik summit because the Committee of Ministers has come forward with the request at an extremely sensitive time, following a mayoral election in North Kosovo on Sunday, he added.
The mess in Kosovo is the result of the west’s interference. It is unreasonable to accept two totally different ethnic groups with totally different religion to meld into one cohesive society. There will always be friction. It is time to detach ethnic Serb groups from Kosovo to ensure future peace.
