EU Ambassador to Serbia Andreas von Beckerath underscored the need for all sides to respect fundamental rights, including the right to peaceful assembly. This also entails avoiding any form of violence against political opponents and political party premises as a form of political protest, according to a statement from the EU Delegation in Serbia.

He condemned all forms of hatred and violence and called on all actors to de-escalate tensions. Dialogue across the political spectrum was highlighted as the only path forward, accompanied by restraint from inflammatory rhetoric and disinformation about the ongoing protests.

The EU Ambassador further emphasized that police action must be proportionate and consistent with fundamental rights; any suspicion of excessive use of force must be properly investigated, including concerning reports of threats and violence against journalists.

Ambassador von Beckerath also stressed that Serbia’s European path offers solutions to many of the country’s key challenges, including reforms in the areas of rule of law, media freedom, electoral reform, and the creation of an enabling environment for civil society.
