In Serbia, opposition parties have continued to accuse the government of President Aleksandar Vučić, warning of a climate of fear and political violence. According to them, Serbia’s European integration process is also blocked due to the deterioration of democratic standards and Belgrade’s increasingly pronounced orientation toward Russia.

Amid a tense political and social atmosphere, opposition parties have intensified their criticism of Vučić’s rule. They claim the country is facing state arbitrariness, political pressure, and weakened institutions, warning of growing fear and political violence. According to the opposition, the government bears responsibility for corruption, abuse of institutions, and the erosion of the rule of law.

In this context, the vice president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Marinika Tepić, has continued her campaign titled “The Road to Prison, Justice for Serbia,” RTK reports.

“These charges, which foresee up to 200 years in prison, are directed at former minister Zorana Mihajlović, who is part of a criminal structure linked to Aleksandar Vučić and his brother, Andrej Vučić. She signed controversial contracts that have damaged Serbia by billions of euros, undermined the rule of law, and created networks of privileged companies involved in corruption and money laundering,” Tepić said.

The parliamentary opposition is focusing on the political and criminal responsibility of President Aleksandar Vučić’s government, calling on state institutions to initiate investigations into these allegations. Representatives of the ruling party have rejected the accusations.

“These are false accusations and political fabrications against the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and his brother. The opposition continuously repeats lies,” said Natasha Jovanović, an MP from the Serbian Progressive Party.

The opposition’s accusations are linked to demands that have been at the center of anti-government protests for more than a year, which began after the collapse of a canopy at the Novi Sad Railway Station, where 16 people lost their lives. The opposition also warns of a potential collapse in the energy sector, particularly due to the crisis surrounding the company NIS, which is under U.S. sanctions because of Russian ownership. According to them, Serbia’s European integration process is stalled due to the worsening democratic situation and Belgrade’s growing alignment with Russia.
