Press Secretary General of the Council of Europe Secretary General Daniel Goltgen appeals to the Russian Federation called for the resumption of payment of "dues". Recall, that Russia refuses to make financial contributions to the Council of Europe to the full restoration of the rights of the Russian delegation.
From the statement of Mr. Goltgena:
This position (Russia) does not hold water from all points of view - the political and legal. She is (Russia) to pay all, that owed to 2017 of the year.
This statement spokeswoman Turnborna Jagland, made in an interview with news agency Sputnik.
We are talking about tens of millions of dollars, which so wants to "reclaim" the Russian Federation Council of Europe. At the same time in Russia make clear, that the Council of Europe can speak as much as necessary "political or legal rules", but the fact remains: in the same Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly of the Russian delegation greatly impressed rights, and therefore no part in the work of this body is not going to take Russia, until the full range of rights would not restored to the Russian representatives.
It should be noted, that this is not the first time, when the Council of Europe to hear the Russian demands to restore the payment of membership fees and "pay off" debts. Russia remains adamant, guided by the formula: day - chairs, in the evening - Money.
