An unprecedented nr of Serbian🇷🇸 citizens peacefully demonstrated in Belgrade today, calling for the rule of law & strong, accountable democratic institutions. I thank all who ensured their safety. An agreement on reforms, which are necessary for Serbia’s EU path should follow.

My message to the authorities in Belgrade is clear. I want to see Serbia advancing towards the EU. For that, political leaders must deliver the necessary reforms and clarify the strategic direction. This is best done by restoring trust and staying true to democratic principles.

In Belgrade, I talked to engaged members of youth organisations and civil society. I heard their call and their aspirations — for fairness, for accountability. So that Serbia can fulfil its full potential. Their energy is needed to find a way forward.

Serbiassa on viime kuukausina ollut laajamittaisia protesteja lähes päivittäin. Pääasiassa niiden takana ovat olleet opiskelijat. Hallinto on tukahduttanut mielenosoituksia myös väkivalloin. Vierailin Serbian pääkaupungissa Belgradissa perehtymässä tilanteeseen Etyjin

Saopštenje povodom komemoracije novosadske tragedije 1. novembra europa.rs/saopstenje-pov…

Statement on the commemoration of the 1st of November Novi Sad tragedy europa.rs/statement-on-t…

1/ EU je pažljivo pratila dešavanja u vezi sa lokalnim izborima u Mionici, Negotinu i Sečnju. Očekujemo brzu i transparentnu reakciju nadležnih nacionalnih organa na izveštaje o incidentima i nepravilnostima, uključujući navode o nasilju i zastrašivanju nezavisnih posmatrača.

Glasanje u Narodnoj skupštini kojim se ograničava nezavisnost pravosuđa predstavlja ozbiljan korak unazad na evropskom putu Srbije. U vremenu kada postoji značajan zamah za proširenje, dok 🇲🇪 i 🇦🇱 brzo napreduju, 🇷🇸 rizikuje da krene u suprotnom smeru. To nije ono što želimo.
