The Council of Europe 🏛️ has been an important part of my professional journey for many years, most recently serving as Ambassador to the @coe from 2017–2021. It was a pleasure to reconnect with many colleagues & friends again 🤝
Started the day in Chișinău with a working breakfast with President Maia Sandu 🇲🇩, followed by strong and inspiring discussions throughout the 135th Session of the Committee of Ministers.
➡️A key milestone: the adoption of the Chișinău 🇲🇩 Declaration on migration 📜⚖️ — advancing a balanced approach grounded in human rights, democratic security, and effective migration management 🛡️
➡️I highlighted the Council of Europe’s leading role in defending democracy and human rights across our continent, as well as its steadfast support for Ukraine 🇺🇦.
The Council of Europe is strongest when we work together — united, resilient & forward-looking 💪🇪🇺
Best of success to Monaco in its upcoming Presidency 🇲🇨! Thank to the 🇲🇩 #Moldova Presidency for the excellent work!

I condemn the massive Russian air attacks on Ukraine, reaching as far as Uzhhorod in the Zakarpattia region near the Slovak border, where a significant Slovak minority also lives.
Further escalation and attacks on civilian areas undermine the prospects for dialogue, a sustainable ceasefire, and a just and lasting peace. 🕊

MULTILATERALIZMUS NEMÁ ALTERNATÍVU!
Medzinárodná spolupráca, rešpekt k medzinárodnému právu a dialóg sú základom mieru, stability a prosperity. História ukazuje, že sila a dvojaké metre vedú k nestabilite. Diplomacia zostáva jedinou udržateľnou cestou k mieru. 🇸🇰
Important CM exchange with @CoE_CPT today. On behalf of Slavkov format 🇸🇰 🇨🇿🇦🇹 @OAlgayerova highlighted the relevance of the 35th General Report, noting migration challenges and the need to uphold Article 3 of #ECHR while balancing strict standards and preventing impunity.
