After President Vučić’s letter of 21 August to Ursula von der Leyen – revealed yesterday – accusing students and protesters of violence and speaking of “restraint” by the police, EDP Secretary General Sandro Gozi has replied with an open letter to the Serbian president. This is what Vučić cynically and hypocritically calls “restraint”: students forced to their knees, filmed like trophies by the police, minors arrested, unspeakable violence by the police, hundreds jailed for political reasons, independent media under attack. The letter closes with a blunt rejection of Vučić’s narrative: “It is not the youth, it is not the citizens, it is not the demonstrators who are jeopardising Serbia’s European path: Serbia belongs to Europe. But it is you — with your policies, your denial, your statements — who are undermining the credibility and the European path of your country.” Read the full article:

As European Democrats, we are appalled by the images coming from Novi Sad, Serbia: a woman violently beaten by a police officer in broad daylight. This is not law enforcement — it’s state brutality. This is the climate Aleksandar Vučić has created: fear, impunity, authoritarianism. A regime that crushes dissent and targets women, minorities, journalists. We stand in full solidarity with Serbian democrats and civil society. Europe must not turn a blind eye. There is no European future for Serbia under Vučić’s rule.

According to reports from Serbia, accredited election observers and activists were beaten and intimidated outside polling stations in Bajina Bašta. Witnesses describe groups of individuals linked to Aleksandar Vučić’s SNS operating around polling stations, creating fear and suppressing oversight. This is what Aleksandar Vučić’s democracy looks like: thugs at the ballot box. Not an incident — a system. When violence protects power, elections are no longer free. Friends of the European People’s Party: how can you justify this? Is this really the standard you accept from your own political family?

European Parliament’s rapporteur on Serbia, 🇭🇷 Picula: The Serbian regime is the main source of instability in the Balkans. There is a schizophrenic situation in which Vucic is asking for EU funds while demonizing the EU on a daily basis. The policy of appeasement must end.

One might think he was involved in a random fight, which is why he’s injured and covered in bandages, without realizing that these injuries were allegedly inflicted by political thugs. Imagine simply going about your day and being attacked by individuals allegedly acting on behalf of powerful political interests. According to reports, that is what happened to Mathew John in Osun State. Democracy is meant to protect the rights, freedoms, and safety of citizens. It is deeply troubling when violence, intimidation, and fear become part of the political process. Anyone involved in harming, attacking, or taking the life of another person must be held accountable and brought to justice. #ProtectOsunVoters

“In Belgrade we have a problem,” warns 🇪🇺 Commissioner Marta #Kos after her meeting with 🇦🇹’s foreign minister in Vienna. Kos warned that “when members of the European Parliament are called scum, it reveals a questionable understanding of democracy,” concluding that President #Vučić’s and Speaker #Brnabić’s “statements against the EU will also not improve Serbia’s reputation in Europe.” Her advice to the 🇷🇸 government is “to focus on the EU reforms that they only recently pledged to president von der Leyen and to me.” Kos sketched what she described as “a possible way out of the crisis”: “Build a #judiciary that is independent and able to fight corruption effectively. Ensure that #media can work freely and independently. And a reform of #electoral #law that guarantees that only the will of the Serbian people decides the majorities in parliament.” Kos also underlined that “people have the right to protest” and that “the severe violence on the streets of Serbia, acts of vandalism, must stop.” She expressed expectation for “the police to act appropriately and respect fundamental rights.”

Today in Belgrade, thousands rallied in a student-organised protest against Александар Вучић Aleksandar Vučić’s rule, demanding justice, accountability and an end to corruption. Vučić can look at the square from a window; he should recognise what is staring back: a country tired of opacity, intimidation and democratic theatre. Students opened the road, citizens filled it. Serbia deserves transparency, rule of law and a European future. The EDP stands with them.

🇷🇸 BREAKING! A shooting took place outside the Serbian National Assembly in Belgrade, where a camp organized by supporters of President Aleksandar Vučić was set on fire. The Serbian leader has described the incident as a terrorist attack. Footage shows armed security forces approaching a large tent outside the parliament before several shots were fired and flames erupted. The tent was part of a camp established earlier this year by Vučić’s supporters in response to ongoing anti-government demonstrations. Local reports say at least one person, a 57-year-old man, was shot and is now in stable condition. Police have not yet released details about the attackers or the cause of the fire.

#Serbia — Clashes erupted between police and demonstrators during protests against the right-wing populist government of Aleksandar Vučić in Serbia. Thousands of students once again filled the streets demanding the resignation of Vučić’s government, which has remained in power since 2012 under the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). The movement began after the deadly collapse of a roof at Novi Sad railway station on November 1, 2024, which killed 16 people. Since then, students have occupied universities, schools, streets, and public squares across the country, facing repeated police interventions. Protesters accuse the government of corruption, nepotism, media manipulation, and violence against demonstrators. Meanwhile, Serbian authorities continue attempting to portray the student movement as “traitorous” and “terrorist,” while also trying to obstruct demonstrations by disrupting transport networks, including trains and intercity buses.

Many European leaders cling to the fantasy that a prolonged war will bring regime change in Moscow. Instead of facing reality and negotiating, they demonise President Putin and block the only path to peace. Europe’s self-sabotage leaves us powerless while others decide our fate. Enough is enough!

The pro-Palestine Spanish MEP Irene Montero has once again acted as a mouthpiece and defender of the Islamic regime of #Iran. Yesterday, during a speech in the European Parliament, she openly defended the terrorist regime of the Ayatollahs and urged the European Union to support it while avoiding cooperation with the United States in countering the regime. In the same speech, Montero falsely claimed that U.S. President #Trump is “Hitler.” In reality, it is the Islamic regime she defends whose officials have murdered over 16,500 innocent Iranian protesters across Iran. This is not anti-war advocacy; it is the normalization and whitewashing of a regime responsible for mass killings, crimes against humanity, and systematic repression.

I welcome today’s recommendation by the European Commission to open EU accession negotiations with Ukraine. This is a strong and historic step that paves the way to a stronger EU with Ukraine as its member. I thank the EU and personally Ursula von der Leyen for supporting Ukraine on our road to the EU. Ukraine continues on its reform path and looks forward to European Council’s decision in December.
