Moscow will not return to work in the parliamentary Assembly, unless you change the rules of its work.
Russia does not intend to make contributions to the Council of Europe parliamentary Assembly (PACE) in 2018, while the rights of the Russian parliamentarians do not fully recover. This was stated by Vice-speaker of the state Duma Pyotr Tolstoy.
Recall, Russia from 2016 sends the documents for accreditation of its delegation to the PACE, once in 2014 and 2015 the Russian Parliament was deprived of voting rights at the sessions and opportunities to participate in the work of the statutory bodies of the Assembly.
Tolstoy recalled that the decision to freeze part of the contributions to the work of PACE was taken in connection with the discriminatory policies of the organization. This amount is about 11 million euros.
“We believe that until you change the regulations of its work, the meaning of our participation in it. I remind you that the Russian delegation was deprived of vote in PACE. Until this is changed, go back to work in the parliamentary Assembly and, accordingly, will not pay contributions”, − said the Deputy.
