Language: FR

Nous n’oublions pas que nous devons faire preuve de solidarité à l’égard des États de première entrée: la Pologne, la Hongrie, la Roumanie, la Slovaquie, mais aussi la Moldavie, savent qu’elles peuvent compter sur l’Union européenne.  Nous avons bien pris en compte la demande de la commission LIBE du Parlement en faveur d’une feuille de route commune en matière d’asile. La présidence a proposé, sur le pacte asile et immigration, une approche graduelle consistant à avancer au Conseil sur les sujets les plus consensuels pour créer les conditions d’avancées permettant d’allier responsabilité et solidarité en matière d’asile et de migration.  Nous espérons, avec le Parlement européen, avancer durant les prochaines semaines. Nous continuerons, vous pouvez en être sûr, à progresser sur cette question au sein du Conseil.

Para los socialistas españoles, la UE debe ser una tierra de acogida sin fronteras que acoge desde la solidaridad a todas y todos los refugiados, sin discriminación, cualquiera que sea su sexo, raza o religión. La activación de la Directiva de protección temporal es un enorme paso para proteger a la población ucraniana y en particular a las mujeres y los niños. Pero debemos garantizar un reparto solidario de los refugiados aliviando a los países que están en primera línea, así como programas de realojamiento vinculantes coordinados por la Comisión Europea.  Por último, los socialistas defendemos que se implanten medidas de protección especial para que las mujeres y niñas no caigan en redes de traficantes de seres humanos.

S kolegicami in kolegi v Evropskem parlamentu, ki smo aktivni v medskupini za otrokove pravice, se še predobro zavedamo položaja otrok v vojni, ki so zaradi doživljanja oboroženih spopadov in bega pred vojnimi grozotami še toliko bolj podvrženi duševnim stiskam. Od začetka invazije v Ukrajini je iz države pobegnilo že skoraj dva milijona ljudi, predvsem žensk in otrok. Ker menimo, da mora biti zaščita otrok v oboroženih spopadih prednostna naloga Unije, smo člani medskupine za otrokove pravice na ministre, pristojne za pravosodje in notranje zadeve, pred ministrsko konferenco 3. in 4. marca naslovili zahtevo po čimprejšnjem ukrepanju.  Konkretno smo v pismu ministrom naslovili potrebo po prednostnih obravnavah postopkov in javnih storitev za zaščito otrok, med drugim za azil, pravne storitve, šolanje, zdravstvo in psihosocialno pomoč. Prav tako potrebujemo zagotovitev vzpostavitve humanitarnih koridorjev.  Ker veliko otrok pride brez spremstva staršev, smo na ministre naslovili tudi potrebo po posebnem mehanizmu za premestitev otrok brez spremstva. V luči razvoja dogodkov pa pozdravljam tudi aktivacijo uredbe o dodelitvi začasne zaščite, ki lahko konkretno naslovi zgoraj omenjene pozive.

A tutti questi minori deve essere assicurata massima protezione. L'attuazione – per la prima volta – della direttiva sulla protezione temporanea, che contiene molte disposizioni specifiche per i minori, in particolare per quelli non accompagnati, rappresenta un primo, importante passo. Occorre ora assicurare a tutti i minori provenienti dall'Ucraina accesso prioritario a protezione, assistenza e tutela legale; garantire loro accoglienza in strutture adeguate ai loro bisogni, assistenza sanitaria, supporto psicologico e accesso ai servizi educativi; attivare corridoi per consentire loro di lasciare rapidamente e in sicurezza le zone di conflitto; assicurare, in ogni momento, il rispetto del principio del superiore interesse del minore. L'UE e gli Stati membri stanno – finalmente – dimostrando compattezza e celerità nella solidarietà: è soprattutto per i più vulnerabili che questo impegno deve proseguire.

Ismét hangsúlyozom, hogy Magyarország kormánya minden idők egyik legnagyobb humanitárius csomagját fogadta el, és felállította a segítségnyújtásért felelős humanitárius tanácsot. Az állam szorosan együttműködik az egyházi szervezetekkel, valamint a Magyar Vöröskereszttel is. Híd Kárpátaljáért mottóval különleges segélyakciót indított el a kormány azok számára, akik Ukrajnában, a kárpátaljai régióban kellett, hogy maradjanak. Magyarország természetesen megszavazta azon történelmi jelentőségű uniós javaslatot, miszerint az Ukrajna felől menekülők azonnali, automatikus védelmet kapjanak. A harmadik országok összesen 4900 érintett állampolgára számára Magyarország segített hazajutni mentesítő repülőjáratokkal. Örülök, hogy a helyszínen az Európai Bizottság alelnöke, Margaritis Schinas is meggyőződött a menekültekért kifejtett munkánkról és magas szinten elismerte azt. Magyarország azt teszi, ami ilyenkor minden ország kötelessége. Befogadja a menekülteket.

Quero, apesar de tudo, deixar palavras de gratidão. Países, governos, populações, estão mobilizadas num movimento de solidariedade que nos deve deixar orgulhosos e com esperança num mundo melhor. Se em outras ocasiões, provavelmente por más razões, falhámos na solidariedade que era devida a pessoas que de nós precisam, desta vez a Europa e os europeus estão a responder.  Apenas solidariedade não vai chegar para fazer face ao maior movimento de refugiados na Europa desde a Segunda Grande Guerra. Vamos precisar de meios, de dinheiro, de casas, de escolas, de prestar cuidados de saúde a estas pessoas. Começamos pela solidariedade e fizemos bem. Façamos agora o resto porque estas pessoas não têm tempo para perder ainda mais das suas vidas.

In 1995, a difficult agreement was reached in Dayton, which returned peace to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, that agreement is under threat, a victim of secessionist rhetoric and movements intransigent political blockades and foreign and hostile interference. Peace, stability and the very integrity of the country are at stake, and we cannot allow the present conflict between Russia and Ukraine to interfere in this region. A range of measures is therefore required, starting with the application of sanctions to the perpetrators of these manifestly unconstitutional activities. The Council has the mechanisms and the example of the United States, all that is needed is the political will. In addition to individual sanctions, the Commission must also restrict access to Union funds until the blockage of central institutions and unconstitutional movements has ceased.

Dodik rejects the condemnation of the Russian war of aggression made by Bosnian state institutions. He argued for a supposedly neutral position, which means nothing other than agreeing to Putin’s war. Dodik is using the war in Ukraine to further push his pro—Russian policies and threats to break up Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is obviously collaborating with Moscow, in whose interests it is to destabilise Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the negotiations surrounding the electoral law, the nationalist HDZ party is making demands based on an alleged lack of the so—called legitimate representation. This would lead to a further ethnic cementing of the undemocratic electoral law. It is high time for the EU to sanction politically and financially Dodik and his forces to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this regard, the EU must support civil society much more than it has done so far.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is in our close neighbourhood and it needs our attention. It needs our support. It is threatened by the blockade of the state institutions, and if that is not enough, it is facing a threat of secessionism inspired by a never truly and fully cleared historical burden, which reflects itself in genocide denial.  All in Bosnia need to come to terms with the past, as painful as it might be, but without an understanding of the past, there is no hope of the future, no hope of overcoming the nightmares of the past. To overcome all this, we need to send a very clear and united EU message. There will be no return to the past for those who still nurture nationalistic fantasies of the past, like Mr Dodik and other political leaders. We need to impose a set of sanctions to deter them from further destabilisation of the country. Sanctions need to be targeted so they will not affect the ordinary people of Republika Srpska or Bosnia in general, but only those who wish for their narrow-minded, political, frequently corrupt-linked aims to tear apart the country and cause new bloodshed.  Sending additional troops from EUFOR is part of the effort, but we need to do more. We need to seriously reconsider giving Bosnia membership candidate country status, which needs to be followed by a strong commitment by the EU to help Bosnia to do its homework. It needs to make a set of deep and demanding reforms, starting with the change of the electoral law in line with the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights, followed by credible implementation of the reforms listed in the Commission’s 14—point plan and all other necessary and needed reforms which will enable the country to firmly set its European path.  Bosnia needs a sign of hope which will empower all those political forces which believe in a modern, democratic, civic and – above all – European Bosnia.

Yet the brutal invasion in Ukraine shows the need to more strongly combat Russian interference in the Balkans, as it directly threatens European security. The long—overdue sanctions for Dodik’s secessionist aggression must be imposed right away, including financial ones. So thanks, Commissioner, for your clear position on that; it’s a first step.  Bosnian citizens have become truly scared, reliving their traumas from the 1990s. Russian influence and interference also moves them further away from the EU perspective, which is devastating for their right to live in a stable and fully—fledged democracy. Yet strong support for Bosnian civil society and the EU integration process right now would really increase their trust in the EU and in a democratic and prosperous future. Let us strongly engage with the citizens, with civil society and, as a first step, ensure free and fair elections in October. That would be the best and most promising medicine against Russian interference.

Malheureusement, les mesures prises par le haut-représentant des Nations unies sur place et la pression politique exercée par le plus grand parti bosniaque, le Parti d’action démocratique, sur les institutions de l’État, sont en train de mettre à mal le cadre institutionnel du pays. Un exemple frappant de l’entorse qui est faite au cadre institutionnel qui régit l’État depuis 1995 est la partialité manifeste de la Cour constitutionnelle, composée de neuf membres, dont quatre choisis par la Fédération de Bosnie-Herzégovine (deux Croates et deux Bosniaques), deux désignés par la Republika Srpska et trois étrangers nommés par le président de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. Bien trop souvent, ces juges internationaux, en violation du principe d’impartialité, se sont alignés sur les juges bosniaques et ont mis en minorité les Serbes et les Croates. De cette manière, des décisions ont été prises sur la base de critères plus politiques que juridiques, surtout au détriment de la Republika Srpska et de son autonomie.  Devant le manque de droiture des juges internationaux, j’avais proposé, il y a deux ans déjà, de réformer la Cour constitutionnelle en procédant au remplacement de ces juges par des juges nationaux. Les hypocrites, bien trop nombreux dans l’Hémicycle, qui s’émeuvent des ingérences étrangères sont les mêmes qui, en même temps, se taisent devant ces violations de l’état de droit.  L’époque des protectorats est censée être révolue depuis bien longtemps. Rappelons-nous que, en 1914, l’Europe s’est embrasée à partir de Sarajevo, et si nous ne voulons pas accentuer les épisodes tragiques actuels en Europe, nous devons exiger le respect total des accords de Dayton.

Les tensions sont de plus en plus vives entre la Fédération de Bosnie, dite croato-musulmane, et la République serbe de Bosnie. Cette dernière, cela a été dit, ne dissimule plus sa volonté de faire sécession. Milorad Dodik, le chef politique des Serbes de Bosnie, ne reconnaît plus la légitimité de Sarajevo et demande de pouvoir disposer de sa propre armée, de son propre système judiciaire et sa propre fiscalité. Dans ce contexte périlleux, évidemment, la guerre de Vladimir Poutine jette une lumière crue, aveuglante, sur les projets de M. Dodik, qui ne fait pas mystère de son allégeance à la Russie et compte sur son appui pour parvenir à ses fins. Et puis, il y a aussi les États-Unis, promoteurs des accords de Dayton, qui sont très intéressés par la région et qui ont adopté des sanctions contre M. Dodik. Nous sommes donc en phase d’une internationalisation du conflit dans la poudrière des Balkans. Et tout porte à croire que s’il n’y a pas une action rapide, déterminée de l’Union européenne, Monsieur le Commissaire, il pourrait y avoir une seconde catastrophe aux frontières de l’Europe. Parce qu’évidemment, la catastrophe ukrainienne nous émeut tous, mais il y a là un problème de sécurité, de crédibilité. Nous devons donc clarifier notre propre position, et cela ne peut être que l’intégrité territoriale de la Bosnie. Nous devons ensuite nous assurer des intentions de la Serbie – j’ai vu que le président serbe avait encouragé la Republika Srpska à participer aux institutions collégiales bosniennes. Enfin, il faut trouver une sortie par le haut parce que l’Europe ne peut pas traîner. Elle ne peut pas tergiverser. Il en va de notre sécurité.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, želim ovdje s vama podijeliti jednu pozitivnu priču iz Bosne i Hercegovine što se tiče zaštite ljudskih i ustavnih prava građana. Osim što je prije više od godinu dana Ustavni sud BiH proglasio obavezu nošenja maski i ograničenje kretanja neustavnim, imamo i nove odluke.  23. veljače ove godine Ustavni sud BiH donio je prema apelaciji advokata Ajanovića odluku kojom neustavnim proglašava COVID potvrde i neustavnim proglašava obvezno cijepljenje koje su uveli uski segmenti izvršne vlasti. O ovome je sudilo Veliko vijeće Ustavnog suda i tri međunarodna suca. Sud je čak kritizirao parlament kako je to mogao dozvoliti izvršnoj vlasti da dozvoli kršenje vladavine prava i demokracije u zemlji.  Prema odluci suda one koji se ogluše na ovu odluku treba goniti po krivičnom zakonu kaznom od pola godine do pet godina. Kao argument, također su prihvaćeni i norveški kodeks i Rezolucija Vijeća Europe 2361. Ustavni sud je naredio da javne vlasti moraju odmah postupiti po odluci i uskladiti svoje djelovanje s ustavnom i Europskom konvencijom o zaštiti ljudskih prava. Pobjeda je ovo protiv segregacije i diskriminacije i dokaz što narod može napraviti kad se ujedini.  Čestitam odavde Bosni i Hercegovini na ovom primjeru zaštite ljudskih i ustavnih prava od koje može učiti cijela Europa.

Mr President, I welcome the positioning of Bosnia Herzegovina with regard to the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, and I do that also as a standing rapporteur on Ukraine. I think it is no surprise, however, that Milorad Dodik takes an opposite position. But we all know that Russia cannot deliver anything positive abroad, neither to Ukraine nor to Bosnia Herzegovina, or elsewhere. So I strongly urge everyone not to believe that a tactical siding with Dodik would profit the country as a whole or any particular grouping in the country. I think that, and that was the clear message from the Commission for which I am grateful, that the Republika Srpska and Dodik have to return to the institutions and make them work. Therefore, I welcome the conditionality that has been set up by the Commission to implement the foreseen projects in the Republika Srpska, which is EUR 600 million, only if this actually takes place.  Moreover, with regard to the elections in October, I also welcome your position to insist that the elections take place in an appropriate set-up and also that the financial means that are required are put in the budget and used for that, in order that something can take place where the people have the right to vote, and it is not about the political parties and their infighting that has contributed to the stalemate.
