Anti-establishment extremism
Anti-establishment extremism (AEE) is increasingly attracting the attention of both the public and experts in terrorism and extremism.
Its popularity surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other crises to which authorities failed to provide satisfactory responses—such as the 2008 economic crisis, the 2015 migrant crisis, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. These events contributed to an erosion of trust in democracy and its institutions, and consequently to the growth of various extremist ideas and movements.
The author of this backgrounder is Kristina Lazić, an intern at the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy.

The war in Ukraine has reverberated across the Western Balkans in ways that reflect the region’s own political dynamics more than the influence of any external actor, including Russia. In Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, media coverage and public narratives surrounding the conflict have been shaped primarily by domestic political realities, local media structures, and long-standing identity divides.

Anti-systemic extremism (ASE) in Serbia has expanded amid prolonged political crises, institutional distrust, and disillusionment with the European integration. Like elsewhere in Europe, ASE thrives in periods of societal instability that expose weaknesses in democratic governance. In Serbia, authoritarian tendencies, media control, and pervasive conspiracy narratives have further fueled skepticism toward institutions and “global elites.”
