#Serbia: The EFJ strongly condemns the smear campaign launched by the pro-government Association of Journalists of Serbia (AJS) against the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia (IJAS). This is another malicious attempt to discredit our members’ unwavering support for journalists. 🧡

After months of street protests, the Serbian judiciary has ordered eleven high-profile arrests for the Novi Sad station tragedy. This decision provoked an irritated reaction from the Serbian establishment and pro-government media.

Croatia Protesters Demand Recognition of 'Operation Storm' War Crimes Protest held in Zagreb on 30th anniversary of 1995 military operation calls attention to Serb civilian victims – and the Croatian state's failure to prosecute crimes committed against them.

In #Zagreb, like in #Belgrade, those showing empathy and support for the victims are considered traitors by their own ethnic kind.balkaninsight.com/20...

Brave protests in #Zagreb showing empathy towards the victims of #warcrimes committed during #Oluja in #Croatia, the military operation that put an end to the Serb Republic of Krajna and displaced over 200,000 #Serbs from #Croatia.

Some people do not want to live in #Δ‡acilend. This is happening in #Belgrade now. A reaction to the forcible removal of #students in #Novipazar by unknown masked men. #Serbia #Beograd

"Non siamo degli idioti”: in Ucraina cresce la protesta contro la controversa legge anti-corruzione - Valigia Blu A Kyiv, nonostante la guerra continui a dettare l’agenda politica e sociale del paese, la sera del 22 luglio Γ¨ successa una cosa impensabile, fino a pochi

Ottimo articolo. Γ‰ rincuorante vedere che nonostante il conflitto gli ucraini ci tengano alla loro democrazia, Zelensky o non Zelensky.

#Srebrenica, la #Serbia nega il genocidio: tutti colpevoli = nessun colpevole. E comunque la linea ufficiale Γ¨ che il vero #genocidio Γ¨ stato quello accaduto ai #Serbi durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.

Thirty years after the #genocide in #Srebrenica... parallel narratives are taking place in #Serbia, where the official line is that "a terrible crime" happened. Thanks to @justiceinfo.bsky.social and @franck-p.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to share a few thoughts. #Belgrade #Bosnia

Powerful images from yesterday’s protest in #Belgrade. Important messages were delivered. Unfortunately incidents took place due to a violent minority. #Serbia

"Russification" of territories is just a synonym of #ethniccleansing. We know very little of those who have remained behind, what's happening to them, to their families... here is one tile of the mosaic about what happens to the ones who wanted to retain their identity.

78 authorized nominators, 16 candidates withdraw from REM Council member selection process In a letter addressed to the Serbian Parliament, 78 authorized nominators and 16 candidates announced their decision to withdraw from the process of electing me

Did the #students in #Serbia block #RTS building only to watch the same farce again?

It seems so....

It is not promising well for #MediaFreedom.

And honest candidates don't want to be part of this game. So they withdraw.

Ottimo post di @fabiosabatini.bsky.social . Sembra la nascita di un nuovo movimento internazionale. O forse vecchio. Sembra di assistere al ritorno dell'assolutismo, con l'abolizione della divisione dei poteri e il presidente-sovrano non vincolato dalle leggi.
