According to him, to date, "there are and prepared legal opinions."

“The conclusion of this conclusion is quite clear - it records the presence of a serious inconsistency of the PACE documents with the rules of procedures and regulations, the statutory documents of the Council of Europe,” said Grushko.

The Deputy Foreign Minister stated the need to "overcome the fundamental difference between the approaches" of the PACE and the European Committee.

He believes that "if you leave it, it will mean" that any country may be subjected to discrimination for purely political reasons.

Earlier it was reported that the State Duma will not send a delegation to participate in the PACE in 2019.
