💨 Abstract

The Council of Europe's human rights commissioner, Michael O’Flaherty, has raised concerns over Serbia's handling of protests against President Aleksandar Vucic's government. He reported excessive use of force and arbitrary detentions, including of students and children. The demonstrations, which began after a fatal train station collapse, have escalated, with police and protesters clashing. The EU and UN are monitoring the situation, urging restraint.
