Standing with Serbian Civil Society:

Giovani Senza Frontiere strongly condemns this alarming escalation and reaffirms its full solidarity and support for Serbian citizens and civil society committed to defending democratic values and fundamental human rights. It is urgent and essential to ensure the safety of all citizens, uphold fundamental rights, and protect the inalienable right to peaceful protest.

For these reasons, joining the calls of European and international civil society, we urgently demand:

• The immediate launch of an independent and transparent investigation into the events of March 15th, 2025, and the illegal use of acoustic devices;
• An immediate end to all forms of violence, repression, and intimidation against peaceful protesters, activists, students, journalists, and human rights defenders;
• A clear institutional condemnation by European authorities of the ongoing abuses and repression in Serbia, accompanied by concrete actions and diplomatic pressure to ensure the country’s commitment to democratic obligations.

Giovani Senza Frontiere will continue to closely monitor developments in Serbia and work with international networks to strengthen concrete support for Serbian civil society. We invite everyone who believes in the values of social justice, democratic participation, and universal human rights to join this action of solidarity, by sharing information and keeping public attention focused on what is happening.
