AI's criticism of Serbia: From 90s cases to Savamala

Prosecutions of war crimes and crimes against humanity "continued to stall as the position of chief war crimes prosecutor remained vacant throughout the year," the report said.

It notes that proceedings against Radomir Markovic, former head of state security, and three former security service officers for the murder in April 1999 of journalist Slavko Curuvija were stalled as a key witness failed to appear at court.

"Pro-government media continued to smear independent journalists and human rights defenders, as well as the Ombudsperson’s Office," Amnesty International said.

According to the report, independent journalist associations registered dozens of incidents targeting journalists, including physical assaults and death threats.

"More than 200 families had been evicted in central Belgrade since the beginning of works in 2015 making way for the construction of the Belgrade Waterfront site. In April, a forced eviction was carried out at night by 30 masked men, who violently destroyed residents’ homes. Local police were alerted but refused to intervene," the report said.
