On behalf of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), we express our deep concern about recent developments in Serbia and the troubling reports of growing pressures on civil society representatives. The protection of freedom of expression, freedom of association and assembly for citizens and civil society organisations are fundamental rights, and should be respected even in times of turmoil and protests.
