2025 Commission report on Kosovo (A10-0166/2026 - Riho Terras)

Madam President, ‘Iovanovici’ is really a name there, in Serbia, near Kosovo. I voted against this report and it is unacceptable and offensive and an unacceptable attack on Serbia's sovereignty and independence to talk about Kosovo. My paternal grandfather was born exactly in Serbia, near Kosovo. Serbia and we, the Romanians, will never accept Kosovo. Neither the Romanian people nor Romania recogn…

The resilience of the European transport sector and the need to ensure the supply of essential goods amid ongoing geopolitical instability (debate)

You were talking about the Danube, you were talking about the Black Sea. Unfortunately, Romania no longer has a fleet because it was asked to do so by the European Union. Moreover, we have resilience, the so-called resilience of European transport corridors. From our point of view, it actually means the destruction of Romanian roads and ports, such as Constanta, which has also come to be attacked …

Mr President, I am part of the delegation with China and I have attended many meetings and many discussions.

Madam President, I heard you here today about the problems of the European Union, Ukraine, Russia, America, China. You don't see your problems in your own backyard.

Madam President, I have looked here and I think the Americans are watching, everyone is watching, because this whole plenary is being broadcast live.

Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)

Madam President, I agree with Mrs Grapini and, moreover, we should say that Romania is the most misogynistic country in the European Union. It is very difficult for women to have access not only to employment, but also to European funds. There is a huge rural-urban divide. The Romanian village is neglected ‑ bad infrastructure, the lack of doctors and schools make any attempt at female entrepreneu…
