Addressing the plenum, Filipovski stressed that during the conflicts in former Yugoslavia, as well as in 1999 in Kosovo-Metohija, the Serbian population had been exposed to monstrous crimes, including sexual violence against women and children. “Thanks to Dick Marty’s report on the trade in human organs committed against Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and Albania, as well as the Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the serious crime, the accused are currently on trial before the Hague Tribunal”, said Filipovski. Filipovski stressed that the number of victims of sexual violence is often manipulated, especially by so-called “Kosovo”, which is appalling. She shared accurate data on the victims quoting the UN Secretary General’s 2020 Report.

The Parliamentary Assembly continues the Winter Session in Strasbourg, held 23 – 27 January 2023.
