Anti-system extremism in Serbia represents one of the most serious threats to the democratic order, social stability, and security. Unlike the broader European context, this phenomenon in Serbia operates simultaneously “from below” – through far-right and anti-system actors on the social margins – and “from above”, through narratives, practices, and informal structures connected to the ruling political elite.

An analysis of nine far-right Telegram channels from Serbia, conducted during June and July 2025, shows that although these actors are numerically limited, they exert significant influence in spreading nationalist, pro-Russian, and anti-system narratives.
