The leader of the European Parliament’s largest party, the European People’s Party (EPP), Manfred Weber, has announced the initiation of a procedure to expel Serbian ruling SNS party of Aleksandar Vucic from the right-wing conservative party group. This is reported by Euractiv.
It is reported that Weber’s initiative is related to the ongoing anti-government protests in Serbia, provoked by the tragic collapse of the canopy at the train station in November 2024. Sixteen people died as a result.
Symbolically, the SNS party was an associate member of the EPP, which means establishing cross-party ties with limited rights and without full membership. Serbia, meanwhile, remains a candidate country for EU accession.
After announcing the procedure, Weber emphasized: “The EPP is not turning a blind eye to what is happening in Serbia.”
