With André Kuper, President of the Landtag Nordrhein-Westfalen 🇩🇪🇪🇺 we discussed how the register of damage for Ukraine can now also help the 270,000 Ukrainians living in the region. Useful exchange on how state parliaments help deliver on common @coe priorities 🙏🤝

🧵1 @COECongress President @CoolsMarc : “I strongly condemn the explosion tonight in front of a Jewish school in #Amsterdam and the recent similar attacks in #Liège and #Rotterdam. Hatred has no place in our societies …

@COECongress President: Deeply saddened by last night’s Russian attacks on Ukraine, targeting civilians and critical infrastructure. This brutal war must end. Until then we will continue working on recovery with communities. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

🧵1 Voted today: the new Committee of Ministers recommendation urges governments to strengthen mechanisms that allow young people to engage locally and regionally, even in contexts of conflict, displacement or recovery. Another step towards the New Democratic Pact for Europe.

✨ We are proud of this milestone decision by the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers 👇 #youthparticipation

Glad to meet again Reinier Van Zutphen, Dutch National Ombudsman 🇳🇱 #Ombudspersons and #NHRI play a fundamental role in protecting human rights. Many of them also operate at regional and local level and the @COECongress plays its part to localise the #VenicePrinciples.

Our thoughts go to the victims and their families after the attacks on Kharkiv killing too many civilians. Mayor Terekhov and all mayors of Ukraine can count on the unwavering support of the #CoECongress. @CoE_Ukraine @UKRinCoE bbc.com/news/articles/…

@COECongress President @CoolsMarc has made the following statement regarding yesterday's attack allegedly by Iranian drones on the Azerbaijani region of Nakhichevan⬇️ @AzMissionCoE @IsmayilovFN

Earlier this week I discussed with @presidentaz Ilham Aliyev the escalating crisis in Iran and the wider Middle East and its implications for Europe’s security. The drone attack against Azerbaijan underlines the urgency of de-escalation. International law must remain the framework for the use of force.

On 5 March 2026, the @EU_Commission and @COECongress formalised their partnership in Brussels to launch the Local Observatory for Reform Agendas Implementation (LORAI) in the #WesternBalkans, strengthening local authority engagement in EU reforms and ensuring inclusive governance
