Evidence of Sound Weapon Use in Serbia Raises Concerns at EU Level
European Parliament member highlights need for clear response and investigation following allegations of sound weapon usage during protests in Serbia.
A member of the European Parliament has stated that there are credible reports indicating the use of sound weapons during recent protests in Serbia.
During an appearance on a news program, he emphasized the necessity for a definitive response from the European Commission regarding these serious allegations.
Concerns were raised about the adequacy of any potential official investigation, especially in light of perceived governmental attempts to divert attention from these claims.
The MEP pointed out that images and descriptions emerging from the protests clearly depict the presence of such weaponry, yet expressed skepticism about the independence of an official inquiry into the matter.
He asserted that there is a pressing need for a thorough investigation and a strong response from international bodies regarding the unacceptable use of this kind of weaponry.
The MEP acknowledged a feeling of disappointment regarding the reaction from Brussels, illustrating the discontent among protesters, particularly students, whose demands align with the broader criteria for European Union membership.
He noted that some EU member states view Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić as a stabilizing force, which may complicate the recognition of these student demands.
The European Parliament member stated that a significant majority in the EP supports the students' calls for reform and criticizes the European Commission for its continued approach of appeasement towards the current Serbian government.
He articulated the necessity for a clear message from the EU, underscoring the reasonableness of the students’ demands, which include accountability, transparency, and the cessation of corruption within Serbia.
The MEP remarked on the evident lack of European symbols at the protests, indicating a need to rebuild trust in the EU among the Serbian populace.
He called for EU officials to be honest and principled in addressing observed issues, such as attacks on non-governmental organizations, intimidation of journalists, and misinformation regarding the EU.
In a broader context, the MEP stressed the importance of the Serbian government demonstrating genuine progress with promised reforms related to EU accession, especially within Cluster 1, which focuses on the rule of law.
He posited that the youth and demonstrators could catalyze necessary changes as Serbia navigates its path towards European integration.
