Biljana Pantic Pilja at PACE Session: Since you are dealing with human rights, condemn the ethnic attacks on Serbs from Kosovo-Metohija

Today, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe held a discussion on the topic "Rising tensions between Pristina and Belgrade".


The Head of the Serbian delegation Biljana Pantic Pilja called on the members of the Assembly to "condemn the ethnic attacks on Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija when they are already dealing with human rights." During her address, she expressed strong opposition to Pristina's intentions to become a member of the Council of Europe.

As she pointed out, several ethnically motivated attacks on Serbs have been registered on the territory of the southern Serbian province in recent days, which have not been condemned by anyone. "The Republic of Serbia remains committed to dialogue, but it also demands that all the signed agreements be respected, that Pristina finally honours its obligations and that the Community of Serb Municipalities, almost a decade in waiting, be established," Pantic Pilja said, adding that preservation of peace requires respect for the basic principles of international law, i.e. respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states, the Republic of Serbia included.
