🇺🇦🇪🇺
Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

I commend @COECongress for sounding the alarm on proposed amendments to #Slovenia's Local Election Act. Restricting democratic participation is a serious blow to people's rights - Iulian Bulai @iulibulai @ALDEParty @RenewEuropeCoR @tamaravonta 👉 coe.int/en/web/congress/-/co…

I am concerned by reports that criminal proceedings for serious police misconduct against a female student during the July 2025 Belgrade protests may be stopped through deferred prosecution. #Serbia

“The voters of Kosovo have spoken clearly" said delegation head @iulibulai. "They now expect their elected representatives to deliver decisive leadership, seek constructive compromise, and move the country forward on its Euro-Atlantic path - ending all cynical political games."

Today, the European flag is lowered at the @coe as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine. We pay tribute to the victims of the massive air strike carried out by Russia on the night of 1-2 June.

🚨 Russia’s war just crossed another line! For the first time, EU and NATO citizens have been injured on our own soil. This is a blatant violation of our sovereignty and shows that Putin’s Russia is still a serious threat to a free Europe. Liberals stand with the people of Romania. 🇷🇴🇪🇺 We call on our EU and NATO Allies to respond in solidarity and strengthen defence capabilities, especially along the Eastern Flank.

🇬🇷 Delighted that the PACE Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination has approved my report on Eliminating gender stereotypes in the media. The report addresses how stereotypes fuel discrimination, online abuse, sexist hate speech and disinformation, while limiting women's participation in public and political life. It calls for stronger action against deepfakes and gender-based online violence, greater transparency of social media algorithms, and better media literacy across Europe. A fact-finding visit to Ireland and close co-operation with civil society, including Ukraine’s Women in Media NGO, helped shape important recommendations on protecting women journalists and public figures from digital attacks. Next step: the vote at the @PACE_News Summer Session in Strasbourg 🇺🇦🇪🇺 In the photo – with the @PACE_Equality Chair @BeatriceFresko 🤝 Special thx to Secretariat of @PACE_Equality for the great job!

More from Tallinn, where accountability for Russia's aggression against 🇺🇦 tops @PACE_LegalHR's agenda, as well the impact of #AI, media in Azerbaijan and other topics. Agenda: rm.coe.int/committee-on-lega… Photos from the @Riigikogu: fotoarhiiv.riigikogu.ee/xv-r…

Happy to host the PACE Legal Affairs&Human Rights Comm to discuss the rule of law, human rights, freedom of expression, accountability for Russia’s war of aggression against 🇺🇦, and the impact of AI on democracy. “Aggression against 🇺🇦must not go unpunished.” Chair @EerikNKross.

A présent que la Déclaration politique de Chisinau a été adoptée, nos gouvernements mesurent-ils vraiment ce qui est en jeu ? Dans @lemondefr, je réaffirme quelques principes fondamentaux. 👇 lemonde.fr/idees/article/202… #ECHR #migration #droitshumains

LI is deeply concerned by democratic erosion in Türkiye, including judicial pressure on the opposition, prosecution of elected figures, and growing restrictions on freedoms of assembly and expression. Democracy and rule of law must be protected. liberal-international.org/ne…
