Since 2012, Russian authorities have used the “foreign agents” law to suppress opposition.

In Serbia, representatives of the pro-Russian party submitted a bill to the parliament to create a register of agents of foreign influence. Radio Slobodna Evropa reported this on Tuesday, December 3.

The bill, which proposes to oblige “foreign agents”, i.e. Representatives of the Socialist Movement, whose founder is pro-Russian Vice President Aleksandar Vulin, applied for foreign-funded organizations to register with the Ministry of Justice.

In case of violation of this requirement, the representatives propose to fine or ban the organizations. Fines range from 5,000 dinars (about 42 euros) to 2,000,000 dinars (about 17,000 euros).

The European Union has already responded to the Socialist Movement’s proposal, reminding the Serbian authorities that they must share democratic values ​​if they want to achieve membership in the bloc.

“We remind you that any legislation of a candidate country for EU membership must comply with our core EU values ​​- core democratic values, including freedom of speech and expression of views,” said press service of the commission in a statement.

A similar bill was registered in the Parliament of Montenegro in October. The initiative to implement it belongs to the coalition For the Future of Montenegro, which includes the pro-Russian parties of the former Democratic Front (DF) – New Serbian Democracy of Andrej Mandic and Democratic People’s Party of Milan Knezevic.

Earlier, the European Commission warned Slovakia that it would take immediate legal action if the country passes a law restricting the activities of non-governmental organizations and the media.
