 Information received concerning reports of several Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) against media outlets and activists, as well as threats against and arrests of journalists in Serbia. Concerns raised regarding the hateful and divisive rhetoric in public discourse, that has fuelled hatred and the vilification of independent media, journalists, human rights defenders, political opponents and others critical of the government in Serbia. Some observations are also shared about two draft media laws lately brought forward by the government. I take this opportunity to highlight these concerns following my official visit to Serbia in April 2023.
