Serbia drops on CIVICUS list of fundamental rights, Civil Initiatives say

After falling on the CIVICUS list of fundamental rights, Serbia finds itself in the company of the European countries with extreme disrespect of human rights, CIVICUS 2019 report says.

That is the country’s second fall this week on the international lists after dropping seven places on the 2019 World Economic Forum (WEF) report on Global Competitiveness to the 72nd from the 65th position it held last year.

The Civil Initiatives said that the monitoring showed the fundamental freedoms and civil space narrowed in Serbia, putting it along Hungary and Ukraine among countries where those areas were the most endangered.
