Seit Monaten demonstrieren Bürgerinnen und Bürger in #Serbien gegen Machtkonzentration, Korruption & Abbau demokratischer Institutionen. In unserer Reihe "Nachgefragt bei..." spricht Dragana Đurica, Generalsekretärin der Europäischen Bewegung Serbien, über Ursachen, Verantwortung & Perspektiven. 🇷🇸🇪🇺
🏆 Annual “Contribution to Europe Award" goes to our Serbian students in blockade, presented traditionally by the Evropski pokret u Srbiji and the @eminternational.bsky.social, for defending European and universal values in everyday choices, even when those choices are hard.
Studenti nisu nosili EU zastave, ali nose njene vrednosti. Sloboda, mir, solidarnost, odgovornost – evropski identitet koji su oni poneli sa sobom na put u Strazbur. EU više ne može da se krije iza „stabilokratije“.

Students from Serbia have just announced that they are going to cycle to Strasbourg. This is their route.
Students from #Serbia (yes, those protesting for months now) just announced that they are going to cycle from Novi Sad to—Strasbourg.
Why? To personally deliver news to European institutions of certain important developments in Serbia, since they have been sort of ignoring them.
Here's the route 👇
Ono sto joj mandat dozvoljava je da sigurno moze da da misljenje, a to vec vidimo sta pise u dokumentima koje, na zalost, malo ko cita (zapravo i mora da da misljenje po svojoj funkciji). Da li ce lideri poslusati to misljenje, to je vec potpuno druga stvar, kao i u svakoj instituciji.
Nacin na koji traze je drugaciji, ziva istina. EK to trazi na admin nacin kroz predpristupni proces i pravno formalno, ali nasim ljudima se malo ko trudio da rastumaci taj jezik. Ali zaista trazi. Godinama i javno, na nacin na koji joj mandat dozvoljava. Ali ovo je veliko priznanje, nije jos kasno.
Marta Kos: Ono što zahtevaju demonstranti i studenti je isto ono što traži EK od Srbije 👍 n1info.rs/vesti/marta-...
“Evropska komisija može makar na neki način da kaže da su vrednosti koje se ističu studentskim zahtevima, zapravo vrednosti Evropske Unije koje i ona traži” www.insajder.net/teme/dragana...

Odgovornost institucija i vladavina prava nisu samo unutrašnja pitanja – vec i uslovi za EU integracije. Ceo interviju na: m.youtube.com/watch?si=v4W...
Why Did the Enlargement Process Lose Its Transformative Power and Credibility in Serbia? How to win it back? europeanwesternbalkans.com/2025/02/11/w...
How to win back youth trust?
👥 Engage directly – Let them be part of the accession, not just spectators.
📢 listen + act on their concerns and support their role as defenders of the very principles that underpin the integration proces.
🎓 Increase education, exchange, funding.
Growth Plan is welcome; EU must ensure:
✔ Clear conditionality – violation of democracy must bear consequences.
✔ Swift execution with visible results – real improvements in living standards.
✔ Stronger public engagement – directly with citizens, especially young people.

Finally, 🇷🇸 #serbiaprotest is making it into major 🇩🇪 news. About time! These democratic protests deserve far more attention. @tagesthemen.bsky.social @draganadjurica.bsky.social
“Justice, truth, responsibility.” An atmosphere at one of the theatres in Belgrade with energetic support of the audience, depicting the requests of students and citizens of Serbia. Red gloves are a symbol of “bloody hands” from corruption.
Map od towns and municipalities in Serbia - marked in red - where protests have been held for the past almost 3 months against the corrupt regime.
Yesterday’s strike across Serbia. Many businesses, organizations and individuals followed students in their demands for rule of law, accountable institutions and free media. Difficult to encompass everything in pictures, video below is from Belgrade, but so many other towns in Serbia on their feet.
In Serbia students protesting against corruption are calling for a general strike tomorrow. Many businesses (small, medium, large), individuals and organizations announced participation and expressed support to demands for rule of law and credible institutions

People’s lives are at stake. No economic interest can be above that! This youth teaches us a lesson on it! A lesson on the values od democracy, rule of law and himan freedoms - that cannont be subject to any bargain. Need I remind that these are the EU values that some of us still trully stand for?
Let there be light! Students of Serbia unwavering in demanding justice, despite the violence they experience daily. They embody the fundamental values of democracy, resilience, and courage. There is hope for this country!
Youth of Serbia are at the heart of the country’s democratic future! Their fundamental rights must be protected, their voices must be heard, and their safety must be fully guaranteed. #EuropeanMovementSerbia on situation in our country and violence against students 👇
