Serbia has sent a protest note to Croatia, accusing it of interfering in Serbia’s electoral process and expressing concern over what Belgrade describes as increasingly biased reporting by Croatian media on Serbia’s domestic political affairs.
According to the Belgrade-based newspaper Večernje novosti, the note states that Serbia considers any attempt at external interference in its internal political processes unacceptable, including direct or indirect involvement in election-related activities and political competition during the campaign.
The Serbian government also expressed concern over what it described as frequent, one-sided and strongly negative portrayals of the country’s domestic political situation, as well as attempts to link Serbia’s political developments to alleged threats to regional stability.
The protest note reportedly argues that such approaches undermine mutual trust, good-neighbourly relations and constructive dialogue between the two countries.
The complaint also raises questions about media coverage in Croatia. However, the source material does not identify specific reports or provide evidence of direct Croatian government involvement in election campaigning or editorial decisions by independent media outlets.
