Summary/Abstract: The prEUgovor Alarm Report on the Progress of Serbia in Cluster 1 is a regular, semi-annual shadow report jointly produced and published by the seven civil society organisations comprising the prEUgovor coalition. The Alarm reports have been the corner-stone of prEUgovor monitoring efforts ever since its inception, focusing on tracking the progress and performance of the Serbian Government on delivering rule of law related reforms. The prEUgovor Alarm reports focus primarily on the selected policy areas from the Political Criteria, Chapter 23 (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights) and Chapter 24 (Justice, Liberty, Security) of the accession process of the Republic of Serbia to the European Union, i.e. from Cluster 1 in the new enlargement methodology. Alarm Reports monitor the extent to which the responsible authorities fulfil their obligations envisaged by the Action Plans for Chapters 23 and 24, as well as other complementary initiatives relevant for the rule of law (e.g. reporting to the UN and Council of Europe on specific conventions). In Alarms, prEUgovor members assess the extent of fulfilment of relevant recommendations, activities, and adherence to the timeframe, provide qualitative analysis of the legislative and policy initiatives and assess to what extent these provisions are aligned with the EU regulatory framework. The Alarm Reports neither cover all policy areas from the Political Criteria and Chapters 23 and 24 nor intend to serve as a comprehensive assessment of the Government’s reform agenda. The Alarm Reports rather focus on key policies from the above-mentioned areas, those that correspond to the field of expertise of each member organisation and in which they possess relevant knowledge and experience. Moreover, the Alarm Reports tend to focus on the most salient policy issues at any given time, which is why their content and length may vary based on the reform priorities.
