Strasbourg (France) hosts the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe today, April 8. Among the main issues to be discussed are the budget crisis in the Council of Europe and new threats in the fight against organized crime. This is reported by the PACE press service.
The budget crisis in the Council of Europe arose over non-payment of contributions by Russia. In this regard, it is planned in late May to consider the issue of depriving Russia of representative rights in the organization.
