Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has clearly breached core EU values by launching a tough crackdown on the widespread protests in the country, as well as by repeatedly accusing the West of staging “a colour revolution”, the interlocutors of EWB say. According to the analysts, Vučić has not manage to fix his tarnished reputation in leading EU member states by launching a media “counter-offensive” in the international media outlets such as the Financial Times, Euronews, The Guardian, and the New York Post.
However, it is not certain whether Serbian President has crossed a “red line” in his relations with the European Union, i.e. whether the EU officials will translate the harsh criticism into punitive measures against his regime.
