Serbia

Negotiations for Serbia to join the European Union officially began in January 2014, yet little substantive progress has been made towards accession, or actual democratisation. Moreover, the situation has deteriorated in recent years especially regarding the freedom of expression, independent regulatory bodies and judicial reform. The situation for minorities also remains precarious.
