CoE Chair, Croatia Prime Minister Plenkovic to EF: Inter-Connected EU-CoE actions
*Strasbourg/CoE/Angelo Marcopolo/- Mass "Migration", "Western Balkans", and "Human Rights", are among the Issues of current EU - CoE Cooperation, said in Reply to an "Eurofora"'s Question, the President-in-office (for the period of 5 - 11/2018) of Strasbourg's PanEuropean Organisation (with 47 Member States, including Russia, etc), Prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenkovic.

- Significantly, he was Speaking just before he discusses with MEPs in CoE Assembly's Plenary this Noon, at the eve of a Crucial CoE - Russia High Level Meeting, Later this Evening in Strasbourg, (Comp: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/russiaandpacecrisismayberesolved.html, etc), and just 1 Day after EU Commission's President, Jean-Claude Juncker exceptionally visited Strasbourg, (Yesterday, Monday, 25/6/2018), to meet with CoE's Secretary General, Thornbjorn Jagland.
--------------------
⦁ - Raising a Question at a "Press-Point" during Plenkovic's Meeting with CoE's Secetary General, Thornbjorn Jagland, earlier Today Morning,"Eurofora" observed the Fact that Juncker had come to visit Jangland in Strasbourg, and that, meanwhile, others had evoked here a possibility of an eventual Croatian - Austrian Cooperation on Western Balkans (Comp. : ..., etc), and asked whether there was anything interesting going on about an apparently Closer EU - CoE Cooperation now and/or in the foreseable Future.
------------------------------

⦁ - “The Secretary General of the EU Commission (Juncker) was Yesterday here", underlined, indeed, from the outset, Prime Minister Plenkovic.
⦁ - "And CoE’s Secretry General (Jagland) spoke about Complementarities, including for the Western Balkans and Other Countries", (perhaps, including Russia ?).
⦁ - “I am invited by CoE’s Parliamentary Assembly to speak just before (PACE) Debates on (Mass) Migration" (Tomorrow, Wednesday, in Strasbourg), he also observed,
⦁ - "which is, precisely, one of the Few Important Issues that will be High on the Agenda in the EU Summit, from Thursday afternoon, in Brussels”.
⦁ - "And was also at the heart of the Informal Summit organized Last Sunday by (EU Commission's) President Juncker."
⦁ Indeed, COE's PanEuropean Parliamentary Assembly's Plenary Session, this week in Strasbourg (25-29/6/2018), has scheduled 3 Joint Debates related to Mass Asylum Seekers/Irregular Migration, all for Tomorrow, Wednesday Afternoon, 27/6/2018 : (1) "Extra-Territorial processing of Asylum claims, and the creation of Safe Refugee Shelters abroad, (2) Human Rights impact of the "External Dimension" of Europea Union Asylum and Migration policy : Out of Sight, out of Rights ?", and (3) Urgent Debate on : International Obligations of CoE Member States: to Protect Life at Sea".
⦁ - + "There is, also, Always, the entire Question of EU Commission and various Human Rights issues, including where the EU is considering to Accede in this (ECHR's, PanEuropean) Convention", Plenkovic added.
⦁ => So that, "I think that there are More Items InterConnecting our (EU-COE) Work, instead of Dividing", new CoE's Chairman stressed in Conclusion.
⦁ Indeed, EU Commission's President, Jean-Claude Juncker, who was in my Office Yesterday (Monday), told me that they will make efforts to accede to the PanEuropean Convention on Human Rights (EConHR), revealed spontaneously Jagland.
⦁ However, the real Reason for which Juncker, suddenly, decided to make that Exeptional Fast-Track Trip to Strasbourg, even withOut any EU Parliament's Session, curiously, was Not clearly expiicitated, neither yesterday, nor today.
⦁ "Eurofora" also learned, later-on Today, from Prime Minister Plenkovic, that he intends to stay in Strasbourg also Tomorrow, Wednesday, when, inter alia, his collegue, new Prime Minister of Slovakia (a "VISEGRAD" Group Member Country), Peter Pellegrini, visits the CoE, before Leaving for the EU Summit in Brussels afterwards.
⦁ Meanwhile, the outcome of that Exceptionaly Important CoE - Russia meeting scheduled for This Evening (26/6/2018), behind Closed Doors, would have been more or less known.

Popular : EuroCorps' chief, General Pittarch, and Strasbourg's Mayor Ries, speak to the People, downtown.

* EuroCorps, EU defence's etat major, which has just celebrated 15 years of age (1993 - 2008), is young enough to feel enthousiasm for missions to guarantee Human Rights, Peace and reconcilation : Strasbourg's Historic Symbols, but also maturing fast, (particularly under the current French EU Presidency), in order to prepare potentialy important developments in 2009 :
- "EUROCORPS" is a "unique tool" for "a Modern Europe", jointly managed by participating Nations without anyone deciding for others", to "support their efforts to promote Reconciliation, Peace and Human Rights' Values, which identify today's European ideal, with its Symbol-City : Strasbourg", stressed its Chief, Spanish General Pedro PITARCH, in a popular ceremony for the 15th Anniversary of the European Army Corps, at its Headquarters.
- "Today, we are ready and able to fullfil any Peace-keeping Mission may be decided by the Political leadership, since we can deploy up to 60.000 soldiers and/or other agents, mainly in land, but in coordination with Sea and Air operarions", (even to build vital Infrastructures, demining, keep public order, facilitate Elections, etc), said to EuroFora EUROCORPS' Spokesman and Press Director, Colonel Raul SUEVOS.
- "If there is an Agreement with the framework Nations, EUROCORPS could certainly contribute to guarantee manifold aspects of Peace setllements", told us recently General PITARCH.
EuroCorps framework Nations' flags in Strasbourg's central square, on 2008, under the eyes of Napoleon's general KLEBER, famous for its Egypt campain, (reminded by German chancelor Merkel at Berlin's March 2007 EU Summit in a symbolic 1799 gift to the French President)..

EU Parliament asked, Summer 2008 in Strasbourg, " to place Eurocorps as a standing force under EU command", and "invited all (EU) Member States to contribute to it".
France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Luxembourg (participating with Funds, Telecoms and Officers), are EUROCORPS"' main "Framework Nations", due to be joined by Italy in 2009. Greece and Austria participate as "Contributing Nations", while Poland decided to upgrade its role. Turkey has liaison Officers for NATO relations, and even USA decided to send Officers to Strasbourg on 2009.
Observers await with impatience also the outcome of NATO's April 2009 Summit in Strasbourg in order to have a better view of EuroCorps' future.
Since modern Defence must be able to use all Arms nowadays, EuroCorps tried to charm Strasbourg's People with Music accross popular streets...
