Schieder proposes immediate admission of Serbia-Montenegro
STRASBOURG – Peter Schieder, President of the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly, today requested that Serbia-Montenegro be admitted to the CoE at the earliest available opportunity.
Citing the urgent need to offer tangible support, assistance and cooperation to Serbia, Schieder sent a letter to Ministerial Committee Chairman Joseph Borg, calling for an acceleration of the decision process in order for the new union to be admitted as the 45th member at the Assembly’s April session.
Schieder insisted that he had not been instructed by the Assembly to launch such an initiative, but that he was doing so in the certainty that it is the right moment for a positive signal from Europe.
