19. December 2022
We would like to invite you for a public discussion and screening of a documentary on Serbia’s EU integration process.
In the past few years, Serbia has moved from the position of a frontrunner in the EU enlargement to one of a troubled child. With a dubious track record in the reform process, steady democratic backsliding, spread of anti-EU narratives by political representatives, and refusal to align with EU sanctions towards Russia in reaction to the war in Ukraine, the question whether EU accession is still Serbia’s priority arises. Does Serbia’s future still lie within the EU? What would freezing Serbia’s EU accession process, proposed by the European Parliament, mean for the country and its citizens? And what would be the adequate approach the EU should adopt toward Serbia in this situation?
