Russia is ready that at the January session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in 2020, some countries will try to challenge the credentials of our delegation, and is working on it, said Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutskiy Slutsky Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky

The parliamentarian admitted that “those who will continue to promote some kind of anti-Russian idea” will try to “impede” at the January 2020 session, where the credentials of the Russian delegation will be approved for another year.

“We are ready for this, we are working with all political groups and most country delegations without exception,” said Leonid Slutskiy.

Russia was deprived of the right to vote in PACE in 2014 due to events in Ukraine and the Crimea. The credentials of the Russian delegation were restored during the 2019 PACE summer session.
