SL Written Statement

State of the Union (continuation of debate)

The epidemic has had tremendous and unpredictable consequences on our lives: social, economic, cultural ... It has deepened inequalities in society in almost all areas. In the Socialists and Democrats Group, we are working well with the Commission and we are pleased that many of our advanced proposals and policies, such as the proposal to enforce a European minimum wage and more ambitious climate …

The situation in Bosnia Herzegovina (continuation of debate)

Watch

Thank you very much. The war in Ukraine is dangerously escalating the security situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is a strong fear that Russian President Putin’s close allies in the Republic of Serbia’s Russian aggression against Ukraine would exploit and provoke incidents or even war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rise of nationalist and separatist tendencies has long threatened the peace…

The deterioration of the situation of refugees as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Dear Sir/Madam, Every donation can save a life! The people in Ukraine and those fleeing the war need our help, shelter, medicines. Putin's brutal Russian aggression against Ukraine is forcing millions of people to flee. We follow the suffering of mothers, children, the elderly. Scenes break hearts. It is unacceptable that humanitarian workers cannot save lives. The refugee wave is the largest sinc…

Russian aggression against Ukraine (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President! I never imagined that I would ever call on this stage to stop the war in Ukraine. The messengers of war, the oppressors of freedom, the rule of law, democracy and human rights must be stopped. Nationalist autocrats, even in Europe, will demolish democracies until we stop them. Russia's actions threaten the post-war order and security of Europe as a whole. Exploitation in Ukraine f…

Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)

Watch

Dear President. Thank you to the European Parliament's Special Committee on Beating Cancer for its outstanding work and for the final report on which we are voting today. The ZA vote represents a vote for a common European fight against the disease, which diagnoses three million Europeans per year at European Union level.

A European Action Plan Against Rare Diseases (debate)

Watch

Madam President! Today, around 30 million Europeans are diagnosed with one of the rare diseases. We have 30 million reasons why we need a coordinated and holistic approach to address the problems we face on a daily basis. Tonight's debate as an ambassador for rare diseases fills me with optimism. Why? Last week, the UN General Assembly Committee adopted a resolution on addressing the challenges of…

Fundamental rights and the rule of law in Slovenia, in particular the delayed nomination of EPPO prosecutors (debate)

Watch

–Mr President, Honourable plenum, Commissioner, Minister! Today, for the second time in this building, I am talking about a crumbling democracy in Slovenia. In March, we talked about political interference in the free media. The fact that we are talking about Slovenia for the second time confirms that there is something seriously wrong in the country and I regret it. I do not want these debates to…

Situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina (debate)

Watch

Madam President, honourable plenum, Commissioner, Minister! It's boiling in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the end of the war in 1995, this was one of the worst or worst political crises. My colleagues in the European Parliament and I have been warning for a very long time about the rising tensions in the country. The country needs to reform its constitutional and electoral legislation, especially …

The outcome of the Western Balkans summit (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President. Dear Sir/Madam, I welcome the fact that the European Union supports the European perspective of the countries of the Western Balkans, but unfortunately there is no guarantee as to the speed at which enlargement will continue. Substantial investment in the development of the region cannot replace unfulfilled promises made by European governments. By the end of the year, under the Slov…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 21-22 October 2021 (debate)

Watch

Madam President-in-Office, Europe is on the brink of an energy crisis. Electricity, fuel, fuel oil, natural gas are irritated. Urgent action is needed to help the poorest in the heating season. The rise in energy prices is also due to past speculation. Industry and households have not caused the situation, and the pandemic situation has drastically reduced or even stopped many incomes. It is unacc…

Annual Report on the functioning of the Schengen area (debate)

Watch

Madam President-in-Office, once again, honourable plenum. I want to start the discussion with optimism. Schengen is one of the greatest achievements of the European Union. Until recently, the borders of iron and blood have disappeared again with the enlargement of the Union and Schengen. Schengen has become a symbol of freedom, it is crucial for the internal market and for the exercise of the fund…

Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund 2021-2027 - Integrated Border Management Fund: Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy 2021-2027 (debate)

Watch

Thank you very much, thank you very much, dear President-in-Office, honourable Commissioner, honourable plenum. Today is an important day for Europe, for a Europe with humane but secure borders and for a Europe that puts solidarity and fair burden-sharing back at the heart of its migration and asylum policy. With the new funds, the Union will now have the means to deliver on its ambitious goals an…

Presentation of the programme of activities of the Slovenian Presidency (debate)

Watch

Honourable plenum, Honourable President of the Parliament, President of the Commission, Honourable Prime Minister of Slovenia. In the European Union and in this building, Slovenia has been writing successful stories for the last 17 years. Members of the European Parliament from Slovenia promoted exemplary Slovenian projects and penetrating Slovenian people. With pride. I would like to feel the sam…
