Last week, the @eucrta.bsky.social together with @epc-official.bsky.social and @biepag.bsky.social organized a public discussion titled “Serbia one year into the student-led protests – Where to next and what role for the EU?”.

Key takeaways from the exchange👇

As @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu arrives in Belgrade tomorrow, every word, handshake, and photo with those in power will be watched closely by students and 🇷🇸 citizens who, for 11 months, have faced violence while fighting for fundamental rights and democracy. It's time for🇪🇺 to choose a side!

The 🇪🇺 Union offered immediate lifting of sanctions, a package of economic aid that helped the Serbian people to rebuild their economy, and a closer relationship with the EU including at the highest political level.

🇷🇸Today marks 25 years since the October 5 revolution and the fall of the Slobodan Milošević regime in Serbia.

This presents an opportunity to look back at how Europe reacted to the democratic shift in Yugoslavia, amidst the current protests in Serbia, the largest since the revolution.👇

The vast majority of protesters - and of Serbian society - want a European path. Over the past months, they’ve looked to Brussels, not to other capitals in the East. Their message is simple: they want democracy, rule of law, and a future rooted in freedom and Europe. 👇

Support for the EU is not only returning - it’s rising, driven by a renewed desire for democratic values, rule of law, and a future rooted in freedom. 👇

CRTA addressed the state of the rule of law and human rights in Serbia, raising serious concerns regarding growing repression against students, activists and citizen voices, in front of the European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights 👇
