MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – European Movement Serbia – E-001282/2025

Question for written answer  E-001282/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Siegbert Frank Droese (ESN)

• 1.What is the Commission’s view of the fact that organisations such as the ‘Evropejski pokret u Srbiji’ (European Movement Serbia) are often perceived, or at least portrayed, among the Serbian public as instruments of external political influence?
• 2.To what extent has the ‘Evropejski pokret u Srbiji’ received EU financial support over the past decade, and how does the Commission ensure that these funds are not used to influence domestic politics in Serbia in favour of a one-sided EU agenda?
• 3.Does the Commission agree that excessive support for EU-friendly organisations such as the ‘Evropejski pokret u Srbiji’ could create the impression that the EU wants to steer the political and social dynamics in Serbia, which could weaken the confidence of the Serbian people in the EU accession process?
