Summary

The EFJ and partner EU organizations condemned a worsening press situation following Belgrade's 26-27 March two-day mission, noting that the last year saw a prolonged deterioration in the country's press freedom. This deterioration was described as an ongoing crisis rather than a temporary setback. As a consequence, they called on the European Commission and all European Member States to implement immediate governance and operational improvements. The call emphasizes that the new Center for Democratic Resilience ECDR must rely on a whole-of-society approach, strong coordination with existing EU instruments, and robust safeguards for fundamental rights and democratic pluralism to protect the press from further decline.
