The European Parliament in Strasbourg adopted a resolution on Serbia, which – according to the 31 points of the report – is the harshest against the regime in Serbia.
Serbian authorities are urged to fully clarify the circumstances of the bus shelter collapse in Novi Sad, impose sanctions on those responsible, and provide full support to the students.
The camp in Pionirski Park was labeled as illegal, while concern was expressed about the involvement of people with criminal pasts in organizing the anti-protests by the ruling party.
457 MEPs voted for the resolution, 103 were against, reports nova.rs.
MEPs voted for the harmonized text addressing polarization and increasing repression in Serbia, one year after the collapse of the shelter at the railway station in Novi Sad.
The European Parliament calls on the Serbian authorities to urgently and fully implement all OSCE and ODIHR recommendations to ensure free and fair elections in Serbia.
During the debate, EU Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, stressed that it is untrue that the EU Council's decision will prevent the transfer of gas to Serbia.
According to her, "the EU supports Serbia in diversifying all sources of supply and integrating into the EU energy networks."
