Violation of basic human rights in Serbia
July 3 – July 16, 2026
During the last reporting period, pressure on basic freedoms in Serbia continued through coordinated media targeting, threats, physical attacks, restrictions on public gatherings, and abuse of legal and administrative mechanisms. Journalists, lawyers, activists, students, professors and government critics have been subjected to intimidation, online threats and attempts to discourage their public engagement. At the same time, several public events and civil initiatives were prevented by violence, arbitrary government interventions or selective enforcement of regulations, while institutional responses to the attacks remained inadequate.
