The Delegation to Serbia of the European Union issues the following statement together with the Embassies of the EU Member States to Serbia.

The EU closely follows the current domestic political situation in Serbia.

Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right which needs to be protected and exercised peacefully, while the safety of participants and institutions needs to be ensured. Violence must be avoided.

The EU remains committed to supporting Serbia’s efforts to advance on its path to the European Union. The EU calls for genuine dialogue involving all stakeholders in Serbia to advance reforms, particularly in strengthening rule of law, that are necessary for the European future of Serbia.
