The EDP in Belgrade for a European Serbia: legality, free media, fair elections
22 September 2025
During the two days of 18–19 September in Belgrade, the European Democratic Party delivered a clear message
At a time when the worst nightmares would like to nail us to our fears, to our weaknesses: this is the time to dream. And to fight of the realisation of our dreams, which are also the fairest and most pragmatic answers to the challenges of our time. There are times when an entire generation is called upon to prove itself equal to the challenges of history. We are living one of these moments: let us reform the Union to unite Europe.

Vor dreißig Jahren wurden in Srebrenica mehr als 8.000 bosniakische Männer und Jungen von der bosnisch-serbischen Armee ermordet.
