Summary/Abstract: Over the past six months (May–October 2025), Serbia has experienced a deepening erosion of its democratic order, further distancing the country from its aspiration of European Union membership. While mass civic and student protests for accountability, functional institutions, and free and fair elections continue, the state has responded with increasing repression, exposing the systemic weakening of checks and balances. The ruling party has intensified its practice of undermining the constitutional order through the marginalisation of parliament, pressure on civil society, the media, and academia, the misuse of security institutions, and the growing political influence over the judiciary. In key areas – from elections and fundamental rights to the fight against corruption and organised crime – stagnation or backsliding is evident, accompanied by a series of alarming incidents.
