Address by the President of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Trajko Veljanoski on the Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
20 years ago, there were only 12 stars on the flag of the Council of Europe, and today- 47 countries, with over 830 million Europeans are Members of the Council.

ADDRESS BY H.E. Antonio Milososki MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS at the Session of the PACE Standing Committee
It is my great honour to welcome you in Skopje and to address this distinguished forum in my capacity as the Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. Chairing the oldest political organization in Europe presents a great challenge for me personally and for my country. There are many underlying reasons for these challenges, yet I will not dwell upon some of the obvious and at the same time unique ones. Instead I would concentrate on matters of interest for the Organisation.
