On February 14, regime-controlled tabloids published articles filled with disinformation, accusing Jelena Jovanović, Operations Manager of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP), of orchestrating local protests allegedly funded through BCSP projects. These accusations are entirely unfounded and represent yet another attempt to criminalise civil society in Serbia.

The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy became one of 106 civil society organisations and activists who signed an open letter for the protection of whistleblowers on December 7th, which was addressed to all member states of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
