This study analyses six Serbian ASE actors: We \u2013 Voice from the People, MOBA Movement, People\u2019s Patrols, Zentropa, Zbor, and Serbian Action, which differ in size, structure and visibility but share opposition to representative democracy, human rights, and multiculturalism. While some, like We \u2013 Voice from the People, engage in electoral politics, others reject democratic norms entirely, advocating clerical, authoritarian, or nationalist alternatives. Common discursive tools include populist \u201cpeople versus elites\u201d rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and appeals to traditionalism and national identity. Overall, ASE in Serbia represents a spectrum ranging from populist to openly fascist ideologies, unified by anti-globalism, and the erosion of faith in democracy.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
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 \u201cglobal elites.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":35545,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8606,8607,8622],"tags":[11466,11467,9412],"vrsta":[11267],"pdfpub":[],"coauthors":[164],"class_list":["post-35489","publikacija","type-publikacija","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-challenges-risks-and-threats","category-extremism","category-in-focus","tag-anti-systemic-extremism","tag-ase","tag-extremism","vrsta-policy-brief"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikacija\/35489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikacija"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publikacija"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35489"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikacija\/35489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35525,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikacija\/35489\/revisions\/35525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35489"},{"taxonomy":"vrsta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vrsta?post=35489"},{"taxonomy":"pdfpub","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pdfpub?post=35489"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=35489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
