Together with the youth of Serbia against escalating repression and youth rights violations
Youth rights in Serbia are under sustained attack. Since November 2024, peaceful youth mobilisation has been met with escalating repression, revealing a broader pattern of democratic backsliding. This motion highlights that the deterioration of youth security, the deliberate weakening of the youth sector, and the systematic suppression of participation are not isolated trends, but a coordinated erosion of young people’s living conditions and their ability to shape public life. The consequences extend beyond Serbia, testing Europe’s commitment to human rights, rule of law, and democratic participation, and requiring a clear and principled response.
This document builds on the National Youth Council of Serbia’s (KOMS) previous reporting in
line with the Motions adopted by the European Youth Forum in 2024 and 2025.
