EU Lawmakers Criticize Migration Commissioners Visit to Serbia Amidst Protests and Funding Freeze

European lawmakers are expressing concern over EU migration commissioner Magnus Brunners upcoming visit to Serbia, following massive anti-government protests and a potential funding freeze due to judicial reforms and democratic backsliding. Critics argue that the visit could be used by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to spin a positive image, despite rule of law issues blocking Serbias EU progress. The visit comes after a railway station roof collapse that killed sixteen people and a heavy police crackdown on student demonstrations. Brussels faces a delicate balance in maintaining Serbias EU aspirations without appearing soft on backsliding.
