    MEPs wrote to Varhelyi: Government in Serbia threatens democracy

    Ten Members of the European Parliament (EP), members of the group of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), have sent a letter to European Commissioner for Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi, in which they criticize the Serbian government, noting that it threatens democracy. „Serbian leaders and their statements are now threatening democracy, which is strongly promoted by the EU and its member states. Taking advantage of the situation with the coronavirus, the current parliamentary majority postponed the parliamentary elections for 21 June, without consulting the opposition about a new date,“ said the MEPs of the second largest political group in the EP. The letter states that „no EP observer can monitor the elections“, that the OSCE „is sending only a limited mission, which will announce the results a few months later“, and points out that it is, therefore, „very difficult to imagine credible political voting on the election day“. The letter of the MEPs to Varhelyi, the content of which was cited by the European Western Balkans (EWB) portal, was signed by EP Vice President Klara Dobrev, Chairperson of the EP Delegation to Serbia Tanja Fajon, four MEPs from the ruling Italian Democratic Party and others. They also stated that the inter-party dialogue in the National Assembly of Serbia, with the mediation of the European Parliament, was a „good step towards a more equal pre-election situation“. „However, the information currently presented by the Serbian government and other institutions shows a distorted picture of the election process,“ the letter to Varhelyi reads. The letter adds that the main part of the relevant opposition will boycott the elections and that „the situation is further aggravated by almost complete control of the media by the ruling political parties.“
