2022 Report on Serbia (debate)

Dear Chairman, colleagues, Serbia is not committed to European values and has never been. You're wondering why he didn't impose sanctions on Russia. You want to know why he tolerates volunteers going to the criminal paramilitary Wagner. You do not understand how it is possible for Russian media, propaganda media on Serbian territory to broadcast freely. I'll tell you how it's possible. All that Ru…

Dear Chairman, thank you very much for this. A woman is not just a body. A woman has her emotional aspect, intellectual aspect, social and spiritual aspect and that is all that makes a woman a person. And it is the gender ideology that separates these aspects from each other that makes the body itself, in male eyes it incites violence. Thus, it is the merging of all these aspects that makes a woma…

Dear Chairman, colleagues, on my question Mrs. Rafaela did not know how to list any country in which violence against women would be reduced because indeed in these 12 years no country that has ratified the Istanbul Convention has reduced violence. Thus, the Istanbul Convention does not factually reduce violence against women. Second, unlike the pre-Istanbul documents which mentioned gender and ge…

Energy storage (debate)

Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, yes, we need better energy storage and I am looking forward to all the innovations on this issue, from hydrogen to pumped hydropower plants. But how realistic are the estimates in this plan? For example, the long-term decline in electricity consumption after 2030 is estimated, while all cars should switch to electricity at the same time. It's not logical. Or another…
