Bystron: There is immense pressure for Kosovo to join the Council of Europe

Petr Bystron, the head of the Foreign Policy Committee of the parliamentary group Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the Bundestag, tells Kosovo Online that he observes with great concern the processes regarding Kosovo's request to become a member of the Council of Europe, and he notes that there is immense pressure on all countries to support these tendencies.

"There is a desire to integrate Kosovo into all possible international organizations. We are strongly against it, Kosovo is not a state, it is a construction that cannot survive. It is a NATO and EU protectorate. We see great potential for further escalation if we continue on this path," Bystron, who is a deputy member of the Permanent Delegation of the Bundestag to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, says.

Tomorrow, the Political Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will vote on rapporteur Dora Bakoyannis's recommendation for Kosovo to be admitted to this organization.
