A group of 118 Serbian professors and researchers sent an open letter to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, urging her to highlight concerns about democratic backsliding, media suppression, and election integrity during her planned visit to Serbia amid upcoming parliamentary elections.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for increased scrutiny on democratic practices and media freedom in Serbia as EU Commission engagement sharpens before elections. This will open a window to influence policy or face association risks with authoritarian practices.
