It was a cold November morning when police knocked on the door of Nebojša Stefanović's Belgrade apartment. According to the arrest report, after being told to come outside, the former internal affairs minister threatened to get his gun from the bedroom closet. The officers then struggled to get him into handcuffs. Stefanović denies the report, instead claiming the bruises on his body are the result of police brutality.

The leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) faces charges relating to his party's participation in the 2026 election. Prosecutors allege that the SNS accepted 2 million euro in cash from an international drug trafficking enterprise. In exchange, Stefanović allegedly pro

Nebojša Stefanović and the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) are currently the largest threats to our government in the upcoming elections. Police Director Vesna Lazarević is leading an operation to undermine them.

The police are crafting false evidence to suggest that Stefanović accepted cash from a major criminal organization for the 2026 elections. We plan to use this evidence to arrest him. The SNS will lose a lot of support.

Police Director Vesna Lazarević announced the start of an investigation into the activities of Nebojša Stefanović today. Stefanović is the current SNS leader who previously served as the minister of internal affairs. Although the director refused to comment on the specifics, the Informer reported that Stefanović may have had contact with drug trafficking organizations.

Stefanović claimed the investigation was a political attack. He says he will refuse to cooperate.

Negotiations have concluded for Serbian accession into the Collective Security Treaty Organization. The government is providing a referendum to Serbs as promised.

On the day before the referendum, the Republic Electoral Commission announced several new rules. Anybody intending to observe voting and/or counting is now required to obtain a permit from the REC seven days in advance. To ensure a fair election and prevent fraud in the shortage of observers, the police were sent to supervise counting in many towns.

These changes were condemned by the opposition. Over a hundred activists affiliat

Serbia has been an observer in the Collective Security Treaty Organization since 2013. President Šešelj believes it is now time to advance our defense cooperation with our historic allies.

If we are able to conclude negotiations for our full membership, the final decision will be dependent on a yes/no referendum in Serbia.

The 16 members of the Republic Electoral Commission and their chairperson are appointed by the National Assembly every four years. This year, the National Assembly has voted to replace the entire commission. Traditionally, commissioners are proposed by the different parliamentary groups, but the list of new commissioners was a mix of recommendations from the Serbian Radical Party and their ally the Democratic Party of Serbia. Input from opposition groups was ignored.

Many fear that the Serbian Radical Party is leading the country back to authoritarianism. These commissioners will oversee the reelection of President Šešelj and the SRS-DSS government, as well as potential referendums on the C

After Prime Minister Lutovac's failed proposal to recognize Kosovo as an independent nation, the Serbian Radical Party initiated a vote of no confidence in the government. It succeeded as many groups broke away from the Alliance for Serbia (SZS). President Šešelj had to schedule snap elections.

The SZS was hit hard by the prime minister's mistake. Originally elected on a promise to be a non-partisan transition into free and fair elections, Lutovac became less concerned with his commitment to the voters and more concerned with his party's ideological goals. Several parties left the alliance.

Talks on Serbia's accession to the European Union have stalled on the Kosovo issue. Officially, Serbia has conducted negotiations with the temporary Kosovo institutions, but has not recognized their unilateral declaration of independence. Despite the land being a core part of the Serbian national identity and culture, Prime Minister Zoran Lutovac believes recognition is a price we must pay.

Under Serbian law, changes to the status of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija must follow the proceedings of a constitutional amendment. The prime minister presented a proposal to the National Assembly today. It would renounce Serbian claims to the autonomous province and recognize the Repub

Serbia was expected to be a member of the European Union this year. However, due to failures of our previous government, it was delayed. Prime Minister Zoran Lutovac is travelling to Brussels to reaffirm our commitment to EU membership. We would like to finalize our negotiations as soon as possible.

In past years, a prominent dispute between Belgrade and Brussels has been the issue of Kosovo. Many things have changed since our candidacy began. In 2019, then-President Aleksandar Vučić told our National Assembly that "we need to recognize that we have been defeated...we lost the territory." We have made significant progress toward the normalization of relations. Kosovo's 100% tax on imports f

After the Alliance for Serbia (SZS) formed a government last year, President Vuk Jeremić resigned to give Serbia an open presidential election.

The former SZS was divided among many candidates. These included Prime Minister Zoran Lutovac and Deputy Prime Minister Boško Obradović, leaders of the social democratic Democratic Party (DS) and the right-wing Serbian Movement of Doors (Dveri). The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) was represented by former interior minister Nebojša Stefanović. Vojislav Šešelj of the nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS) ran his 3rd consecutive presidential campaign.

Title: Serbian legislative elections 2024

There are currently three major blocs in Serbian politics.

The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) is currently the governing party in Serbia. Ana Brnabić is its leader. Although the party is pursuing EU membership, it also wants to maintain a partnership with Russia, and many of its ministers are openly anti-West.

The second largest party in Serbia is the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), led by Vojislav Šešelj. It is strongly Eurosceptic and supports closer ties with Russia. One of its goals is a Greater Serbia containing all lands where Serbs live.

President Vuk Jeremić leads a coalition of opposition parties called the Alliance for Serbia (SZS). Their

This year, Serbia will be electing its National Assembly. The governing SNS faces a growing challenge from the opposition.

Serbia has had some issues with its elections in the past. President Vuk Jeremić, who was nominated by a coalition of opposition parties against the SNS, hopes to give our citizens an open democracy. He therefore invites the international community to observe the 2024 legislative elections as both a deterrence to fraud and a move toward integration with the EU.

The Presidency is reaching out to a few governments and organizations in particular. Others may request to observe the elections if interested.

To the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway:

It has come to my attention that the planned Serbian delegation to the Oslo World Expo was barred from participating in the event.

The Republic of Serbia has enjoyed cordial relations with the Kingdom of Norway. Both countries are members of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe as well as the Council of Europe. In 2008, Oslo and Belgrade signed a plan for bilateral military cooperation. Despite some obstacles, I considered Norway a great partner in achieving our mutual goals.

The two candidates emerging from the previous round are incumbent Aleksandar Vučić and challenger Vuk Jeremić. Jeremić is backed by the Alliance for Serbia (SzS), a group of several opposition parties whose main goal is to hold free and fair elections. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs for what the New York Times described as "the most westward-leaning government Serbia has ever had" as well as the youngest person to ever serve as President of the United Nations General Assembly. That makes Jeremić a sharp contrast to President Vučić, who has been accused of corruption and authoritarianism.
