👉The claim that the #EU had already done everything possible to protect minority languages & cultures as set out in the @MSPI_EU cannot be legally supported!

As @EPPGroup shadow on visa liberalisation for 🇽🇰 I am glad that we reached this important step. I call for a positive vote in the Plenary and in the Council of the #EU so that #Kosovo citizens can travel freely to the EU & the whole Western Balkans is under the same visa regime.
RT @EP_Justice: 🇽🇰 The trilogue agreement on visa liberalisation with Kosovo was approved by @EP_Justice MEPs with 48 in favour, 7 against, and 3 abstaining (rapp. @thijsreuten).

Honoured to have been welcomed yesterday by @BVerfG, one of the most prestigious national constitutional courts in the #EU 🇪🇺, bearing a strong influence on the development of the EU legal order.
As AFCO Delegation leader, I thank the Court for the insightful discussions!

Glad that the @europarl_en overwhelmingly adopted my detailed report on the work of the @EP_Petitions in 2021.
Going forward, I hope that in the future more citizens will use our advanced petition systems to bring issues forward to the European Parliament 🇪🇺@EPPGroup

Deeply disappointed that ❌@TheProgressives and @RenewEurope rejected our call for a resolution on this anniversary.
Their cynical message is that the rights of Rohingya, Uyghurs, Roma and other national & linguistic minorities in #Europe are not worth the effort. #EPlenary 3/3

The 30th Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Minorities was celebrated this morning in @Euparl_EN upon the initiative of the @EPPGroup.
‼️Given the occasion, the European Parliament should have adopted a position supporting the @UN engagement and action.‼️2/3

Respect for the rights of minorities in the #EU was and still is a matter of utmost importance for 40 million Europeans.
👉 Minorities often face restrictions and even suppression instead of being treated as equals and as partners for peace and stability. #EPlenary 1/3

As @EPPGroup shadow I welcome the outcome of the trialogues.
The new legislation will make it easier for @Eurojust to find links between parallel investigations in different countries, giving it timely access to data, all in the interest of security for our citizens! 🇪🇺

RT @EU2022_CZ: #JHA | 🤝 DEAL! We reached a provisional political agreement between @EUCouncil & @europarl_en on #visa liberalisation for #Kosovo 🇽🇰.

Kosovo fulfills the requirements set out in the Visa Liberalisation Roadmap and made great progress in regards to document security, border management, public order and security. As @EPPGroup shadow I am glad to say that this agreement is well deserved by Kosovo!

I met the 🇮🇸 Icelandic Ambassador Ragnhildur Arnljótsdóttir, which holds the Presidency of the Council of Europe.
We agreed that deepening of #EU and #CoE cooperation is needed and the relationship between the European Parliament and PACE should be intensified.
Takk!

It is important more than ever to combine #EU & #CoE efforts to strengthen democracy & maintain peace in Europe.
Existing co-op needs to expand in areas such as minority rights, cultural diversity, hate speech & non-discrimination.
Great exchange of views with PACE members!

Our two institutions are not in competition over competencies & primacies, but complement and inspire each other.

@bkalnoky Apparently fulfilling the EU conditions in the field of minority protection is not happening yet. The Rada adopted last week in first reading the minority law. It would allow education in minority languages only in private schools.

The veto of #Austria in #JAI is shameful & it rocks the entire European architecture that is based on rules & common interest.
When you put your own internal political interest before the European interest and the legitimate interest of other states you act against Europe. 2/2

European cooperation will not be the same after todays #Schengen vote. Austria has single-handedly shaken off the faith in solidarity.
No reasonable arguments from 🇦🇹, they cynically punished #Romania because of their internal political issues. 1/2
