AGREEMENT

On coordination of activities vis-à-vis the European Union of pro-European actors in Serbia 

  • Taking into account the results already achieved through the coordination of pro‑European actors in their relations with the EU, their growing presence and visibility within EU institutions, as well as the significant progress made in conveying accurate information about developments in Serbia to the EU level,
  • Warning of the dramatic deterioration of electoral conditions, the increasing pressure on institutions not to implement the law, and the accelerated extra‑constitutional concentration of power in the hands of the President of the Republic,
  • Recalling the relevant reports of the European Commission and the resolutions of the European Parliament on the state of democracy in Serbia, as well as the four‑year blockade of Serbia’s EU accession negotiations caused by the anti‑democratic, anti‑systemic and anti‑institutional actions of the Serbian authorities,

Agreed on the following:

  1. To strengthen coordination of our joint and individual activities vis-à-vis the European Union, namely the European Commission, European Council and European Parliament, as well as vis-à-vis the EU Member States. The objective of this coordination is to enhance the understanding among the EU institutions and the EU Member States of the existence of a clear and credible pro-European political alternative to the current Government in Serbia. This Government, despite the official statements, is in its essence and its deeds deeply anti-EU oriented. We will put special attention to coordinate the preparations of the European Parliament’s fact-finding mission, scheduled for January 2026.
  2. We expect that the European Parliament fact-finding mission will establish a field and factual assessment of functioning of democratic institutions, electoral conditions, ongoing protests, attacks against demonstrators, and systematic pressure exerted against students, opposition actors, civil society organisations, media, academic community, education and cultural professionals, prosecutors and judges, public sector employees, as well as business representatives who support the protests. We expect the fact‑finding mission to be followed by appropriate follow-up activities aimed at monitoring the further developments in Serbia.
  3. We call for the deployment of a full election observation mission to the next parliamentary elections in 2026, composed of Members of the European Parliament, representatives of ODIHR, and the Council of Europe.
  4. We call on the European Union and its bodies to make it unequivocally clear to the authorities and the public in Serbia that the upcoming elections must be conducted in line with ODIHR recommendations, with clear monitoring and assessment of progress regarding electoral conditions.
  5. The Agreement remains open to all pro-European political parties, organisations, and movements in Serbia.
