Adressing the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in his capacity as Chairman of the Committee of Ministers, Romanian Foreign Affairs Minister Mihai Razvan Ungureanu said that increased attention would be paid to the execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context Ungureanu referred to the Ilascu case: “Regrettably, notwithstanding the continuous efforts deployed so far by the Committee of Ministers, no progress has been achieved as regards the execution of the decision adopted in the case of Ilaşcu and others against the Republic of Moldova and the Russian Federation. The issue remains high on our agenda, and we will continue to put pressure on those responsible, so as to have Mr Tudor Petrov Popa and Mr Andrei Ivantoc released as soon as possible.”
