In his intervention on the 2021 Report on Serbia as Shadow Rapporteur for the Socialists and Democrats Group, Mr. Papadakis said that he would like to make a statement on the 2021 Report on Serbia. Papadakis said that there is already a significant delay in this path of Serbia.
He pointed out that the Government of the country itself is responsible for this delay because reforms are slow to be implemented, social justice is absent, respect for the other opinion is a missing element and the opposition is put on the sidelines.
Also, Mr. Papadakis spoke of silencing of journalists and media not controlled by the government, inaction on phenomena of extreme and inhumane exploitation of foreign labour and attacks by paramilitary groups on opposition leaders.
He said that "the moment you expect to be part of European principles and values, you have to identify with them and go along with the imposition of sanctions against Russia without a yes but."
"Some steps have been taken and we should not forget them. I am sending a message to the Serbian people that we continue our support for a truly democratic Serbia, a member of the European family," he concluded. Papadakis.
