Press Release:

Statement on the media attack on the BCSP and its management

The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy categorically rejects and denies the falsehoods that were first published on the internet portal "Alo" on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, and then picked up by other pro-government media.

This is a dirty campaign with the aim of discrediting the organisation and its executives, and the BCSP will seek protection in court proceedings.

    Civil society organisations express deep concern over the direction of the investigative actions concerning the incident of 15 March 2025, which have recently been undertaken by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade. The current conduct of this Prosecutor’s Office is the exact opposite of the thorough and impartial investigation that such a grave case requires. Instead, it indicates a deliberate intention to cover up the actual incident and divert public attention towards the political persecution of victims and all those who have provided them with legal or other forms of support.
