| Summary / Abstract (Note) | ON OCTOBER 2, 2012, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution on the monitoring of Russia. Our entire delegation voted against the resolution, since many of the provisions included in it are simply unacceptable for us.
Well before the opening session, it had become clear that the resolution would be adopted in such a harsh and incorrect version and so I decided to postpone my trip to Strasbourg. Against the background of such a provocative document, I simply would not have been heard by European parliamentarians. And I wasn't going to talk about this resolution at all, not about a difference of opinions but about strategic priorities and ways to overcome really common threats. For this is the main reason why our countries and peoples unite and why there is the need for such platforms as PACE. |
