The values of the Council of Europe, which are currently under threat, can be effectively protected only with the participation of Moscow, the head of PACE Pedro Agramunt said.
"Today, when we face such important problems as populist and anti-institutional tendencies, terrorism, migration and refugee crisis, we must remember about the origins of the Council of Europe and the ideals that revitalized the European construction process: peace, international cooperation and democratic values," he said.
