The recent #spyware revelations are not the only reason why the EU needs to rethink its approach to the Serbian government. We have long criticised the increasing attacks on democratic institutions, the opposition and civil society.

Fine, but Vučić’s @sns_srbija is STILL in the @EPP!
A full year later, your "scrutiny process" (after Vučić called @GreensEFA MEPs worst scum) has delivered absolute zero.
What has to happen for @EPP to finally find a spine and kick them out?
Until then, it’s all cheap talk.
Midst EU outrage against 🇷🇸 leadership over Mladić glorification and spyware scandal, @EPP rushes to Vučić’s rescue!
Top #ÖVP 🇦🇹 figures - including @JHahnEU & @sebastiankurz - met with him in Sombor 🇷🇸 on the eve of the Mladić funeral.
So much for EPP’s European values.
Ratko Mladić was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The return of his remains to Belgrade reminds Europe of the darkest pages in our recent history.
The glorification surrounding his death is incompatible with the values on which the EU path is built. That path requires confronting the past, genuine reconciliation and respecting the victims of war crimes.
The values that underpin our common future are not negotiable.
In this context, I have decided not to proceed with my planned visit to Serbia at this time.
It was a short step from sound cannon in March 2025 to fully operational spyware campaign against key opposition and student activists in #Serbia.
There is zero excuse for @MartaKosEU & @vonderleyen to visit Belgrade 🇷🇸 in the coming month and create a false sense of normalcy.
Not any peace - a fair peace!
Our joint statement of @IvanKrulko and myself as co-chairs of parliamentary assembly of @Europarl_EN and parliaments of Eastern Partnership (#Euronest 🇦🇲🇦🇿🇬🇪🇲🇩🇺🇦🇪🇺)
We state that:
👉The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in Europe are inviolable.

👉Nations should be represented by leaders that are chosen by their people within the framework of their constitutional laws.
👉In accordance with Ukrainian laws, President @ZelenskyyUa is the legitimate representative of the Ukrainian people.
👉We must stand together against attempts to sow discord or weaken our alliances.
👉We stand in solidarity with Ukraine and all nations upholding their right to self-determination and territorial integrity…

Große Überraschung:
Ein „Die-Migration-ist-die-Mutter-aller-Probleme“-Wahlkampf der Union kommt vor allem der „Die-Migration-ist-die-Mutter-aller-Probleme“-Partei AfD zugute.
Meisterleistung.
So at least German voters do know this now before the election: In case of doubt, Friedrich Merz is prepared to form majorities with the extreme right
A historic taboo has been broken in Germany today. On the day the Bundestag was supposed to remember the Holocaust.
Torsten Teichert war jahrelang der engste Mitarbeiter vom Hamburger Ex-Bürgermeisters Klaus von Dohnanyi. Er war Mitbegründer des BSW und rechnet jetzt mit Sahra Wagenknecht ab.
Ein paar Auszüge aus dem Schreiben, in dem er #Wagenknecht vorwirft, „komplett irre“ zu sein.
👇
1/Günter Verheugen (geb. 1944), war erst FDP-, dann seit 1982 SPD-Mitglied. Er fungierte als FDP-Geschäftsführer, ab 1983 saß er im Bundestag für die SPD, war auch zeitweilig Bundesgeschäftsführer, stellvertretender Fraktionschef und 1998/98 Staatsminister im Auswärtigen Amt.
"Media" targets students & CSO activists demanding justice, calling them foreign agents in the worst 🇧🇫/🇷🇺 fashion. 🇷🇸 authorities're unwilling to guarantee the application of basic Copenhagen criteria by failing to implement media laws. No rule of law-no credibility-no Clusters!
Pokušao je da pošalje poruku i smatrao je da uvjerljivije ako se obrati na srpskom. Sigurno bi ga nazvao hrvatskim da je znao kako ćete reagovati. Govorio je o stradanju ljudi u Srbiji, a Vi ste to nazvali provokacijom. I dalje ne kapiram šta je konkretno bila provokacija? Čovjek je iz Slovenije i pričao je protiv Vučića, tako da nije žrtva srpskog nacionalizma.
Wenn der serbische Autokrat @avucic heute herzlich in 🇩🇪 willkommen geheißen wird, gibt es viel zu besprechen: der im Raum stehende Vorwurf von serbischen Anschlägen auf kosovarische Infrastruktur,die Rückschritte bei Rechtsstaatlichkeit+Demokratie, die prorussische Außenpolitik.
