 Press release - 201(2006) 

Secretary General of the Council of Europe speaks to the Parliament of Serbia 
and Montenegro 

Belgrade, 06.04.2006 - “Serbia and Montenegro is at a critical crossroads 
between a new future and a recycled past” said Terry Davis who expressed his 
confidence that the country will make the right decision. 

The Secretary General stressed the importance of good governance, which 
requires a “solid, modern and functional constitution and system of laws, a 
functioning democracy, accountable politicians, effective administration and 
independent judiciary”. 

Terry Davis called for full and immediate cooperation with the International 
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. “The Council of Europe does not 
believe in collective guilt for crimes, but we do believe in collective 
responsibility for the proper functioning of justice and proper respect for the 
victims. It is time to let justice do its work and then turn the page.” 

Speaking about the forthcoming referendum in Montenegro and the on-going UN 
sponsored talks on the future status of Kosovo, Terry Davis said that 
regardless of the final decision on these two very important questions, 
Albanians, Montenegrins, Serbs and other peoples in the region would still have 
to live side by side. 

“Serbia and Montenegro is part of Europe, and Europe is about making borders 
disappear, not building new ones. For this to happen, you need a common set of 
values and mutual trust. Those who have the genuine interests of the people at 
heart will build bridges - not walls.”
