Comments on the Draft Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Defence and the Draft Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Serbian Armed Forces
In addition to commenting on the proposed amendments to the Law on Defense and the Army, the BCSP research team draws attention to already problematic or defective legal solutions.
Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) provides comments on specific amendments that it finds controversial or unclear.
BCSP would also like to offer, together with appropriate explanations, suggestions for changes to individual articles that were not envisaged in the Draft Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Defence and the Draft Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Serbian Armed Forces which BCSP believes are necessary.
This publication contains the speech delivered by Pieter Omtzigt, former member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and former rapporteur on Pegasus and other spyware and secret state surveillance. The speech was delivered at the Sandbox Conference organised by the Civil Society Digital Security Network (CSDN) in Tirana on 27 May 2026.
Human rights defenders are people who act, individually or jointly, to advance human rights and fundamental freedoms and fight for their protection at the local, national and international levels.
There are many findings of domestic and foreign research organisations that unequivocally indicate that Serbia is a captured state, with a hybrid political regime. Security institutions play a major role in the capture of the state and the collapse of democracy in Serbia, as well as in preserving the situation the way it is.
