Serbia: Activists feel the full force of state pressure

Activists in Serbia who advocate for human rights, environmental protection and freedom of speech have been coming under increased pressure from the state in recent months. Many have been detained, faced threats and been the target of public smear campaigns. 
These developments raise significant concerns about the rule of law and democratic standards in Serbia and call into question the country’s commitment to European values. 
NGOs and European institutions have already expressed concern.
