and Serbia’s Accession to the European Union An analysis of Serbia’s alignment with the European Union’s foreign policy declarations and measures: Semi-annual review for 2025 Authors: Igor Novaković Marko Savković Nataša Stanojević July 2025 Belgrade The contents of this document are the sole responsibility of ISAC Fund and it does not necessarily reflect views of the FriedrichEbert-Stiftung. An analysis of Serbia’s alignment with the European Union’s foreign policy declarations and measures: Semi-annual review for 2025 Serbia has continued its alignment patterns with the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) in the first half of 2025, similar to 2022 and 2023, when Serbia had alignment rates of 48 percent and 54 percent, respectively. Currently, Serbia has reached an alignment rate of 52 percent. This also indicates that, despite a relative increase in 2024 to 59 percent, the overall pattern has remained consistent. These rates are the lowest among EU candidate countries(Georgia has the same percentage), not only in the Western Balkans but also among others, except for Türkiye, whose pre-accession negotiations have been effectively frozen for several years. The main reason for the low percentage is that during the first half of 2025, the EU adopted two new sanction packages — the 16th and 17th — increasing the scope of sanctions and, consequently, the number of declarations directed against the Russian Federation in connection with its war in Ukraine. The alignment percentages remain merely a descriptive category that indicates the general trend of alignment but cannot be regarded as a definitive indicator of progress or decline. The specific issues on which candidate and partner countries fail to align are more critical. This is because EU foreign policy declarations and the measures they include may cover a broad range of topics, not all of which are considered equally important by the EU and its member states. These topics range from imposing, amending, or renewing restrictive measures against certain countries to declarations commemorating dates of critical importance to the international community. The most important issues are those related to the security of the EU and its member states. Consequently, the EU and its member states closely monitor alignment on matters that affect the Union’s global position, interests, and stated foreign policy objectives and concerns. This is the context in which the alignment of Serbia and other candidate and partner countries is being assessed. As in previous years, Serbia has avoided aligning with declarations and measures directed against the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, including those targeting their nationals, entities, or interests. One of the main reasons for this position remains the issue of Kosovo, as Serbia continues to seek the support of both Russia and China in various international fora. Additionally, Serbia has failed to align with declarations and measures on other topics, though in most cases these have been connected in some way to Russia and the armed conflict it initiated in Ukraine. From January 1 to June 30, 2025, the EU issued 64 declarations calling on candidate and partner countries to align. 1 Serbia aligned with 33 declarations and the corresponding measures, but failed to align with 31. When it comes to specific issues, Serbia did not align with sixteen CFSP declarations related to the war in Ukraine; four related to Belarus; three related to cyber issues and cyber-attacks; 1 The count refers to declarations published on the EU Council's website, consilium.europa.eu. Some declarations published at the beginning of the year refer to EU Council decisions made at the end of 2024. This is because the alignment process was concluded at the beginning of 2025, and the final information about alignment was published as declarations in January 2025. 2 and one each concerning Guatemala, the EU’s Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime, the internal situation in Russia, Moldova, the use of chemical weapons, North Korea, and Mali. On the other hand, Serbia aligned with three CFSP declarations referring to the war in Ukraine, the commemoration of important international dates, the situation in the Middle East, Sudan, and Venezuela; two each referring to terrorism, Burma/Myanmar, Iran, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and one each concerning the India-Pakistan conflict, Guatemala, the EU’s Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime, Türkiy e, Syria, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Haiti, Lebanon and Ukraine. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the EU introduced 17 sanctions packages between February 23, 2022, and June 30, 2025. Sanctions initially began with the annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of conflict in the Donbas region in 2014, after which the EU progressively imposed sanctions on Russian-backed entities and individuals. These measures include individual sanctions targeting specific persons and entities, as well as restrictive measures affecting the financial and business sectors, energy and transport, dual-use goods and advanced technology, trade restrictions, exclusion of Russia from public contracts and European funds, visa bans, measures against disinformation, and more. Additionally, sanctions were introduced targeting Russian sales of oil, gold, and various other goods and products. At the time of writing this report, the sanctions target over 2,400 individuals and entities. 2 These measures also encompassed Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine. Primarily, they were implemented through revisions and amendments to EU Council Decision No. 145 from 2014, which initially sanctioned individuals and entities, and Decision No. 512 from the same year(structural sanctions). Decision No. 386 from 2014 imposed restrictive measures in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol. Additionally, Decision No. 266 from 2022 introduced specific sanctions targeting those responsible for the Russian occupation of Ukrainian regions — initially Donetsk and Luhansk, and later Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Finally, restrictive measures were also applied to individuals and entities involved in destabilizing hybrid actions against the EU, Ukraine, and other countries. These included tools such as intimidation, sabotage, subversion, foreign information manipulation and interference, disinformation, malicious cyber activities, and the instrumentalization of migrants. These measures are streamlined through the framework established by Council Decision No. 2643 from 2024. Regarding the declarations Serbia did not align with, of the sixteen related to the war in Ukraine, five refer to updates of EU Council Decision No. 145 and another five to Decision No. 512 from 2014. Three declarations refer to Decision No. 2643 from 2024, two to Decision No. 266 from 2022, and one to Decision No. 386 from 2014. This indicates that, as before, Serbia aligned only with sanctions based on Decision No. 119 from 2014, which extends sanctions against former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his associates for another year. Serbia also aligned with two political declarations related to the war in Ukraine — one calling for a ceasefire at the front, and the other concerning the then-ongoing Ukraine – U.S. negotiations in Saudi Arabia. Serbia further failed to align with the most recent addition to the EU sanctions regime, introduced through Council Decision No. 1484 from 2024. These sanctions were enacted in 2 EU sanctions against Russia, https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/sanctions-against-russia/, retrieved July 16, 2025 3 response to Russia’s prosecution of opposition activists and independent media, initially driven by the treatment of opposition leaders Alexei Navalny and Vladimir Kara-Murza, along with their associates and certain opposition media outlets. The annex published in 2025(Decision No. 957 from 2025) added 28 names to the list. It is worth noting that in 2023, Serbia did align with an EU declaration issued in protest against Navalny’s treatment in prison. Sanctions against Belarus are also connected to the broader context of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Specifically, the EU has expanded the scope of restrictive measures originally introduced in 2012 through Council Decision No. 642. Since 2022, following Belarus's use of its territory to support the invasion of Ukraine, and due to the authoritarian nature of President Alexander Lukashenko’s regime, the EU has progressively introduced a stricter sanctions regime by broadening its scope and adding new individuals. In 2025, the EU published four related declarations, none of which Serbia aligned with. Cybersecurity is another area of EU foreign policy declarations and measures, frequently involving the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. In the first half of 2025, the EU issued three declarations related to malicious cyber activity. The first, published on February 11, added three Russian nationals — allegedly connected to the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation(GRU) — to the sanctions list established under the framework of EU Council Decision No. 797 from 2019. They are suspected of being responsible for cyberattacks that significantly affected the stability of certain EU member states. The second declaration, issued on May 28, updated data for six entries on the list — all Russian nationals connected to the GRU and suspected of carrying out cyberattacks in the Netherlands and Germany in previous years. The third declaration, published on May 23, responded to a cyberattack targeting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czechia, most likely carried out by Advanced Persistent Threat 31(APT31), a group associated with China’s Ministry of State Security. The EU condemned the attack as being“contrary to the United Nations framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace, which all UN Member States have endorsed.” Predictably, Serbia did not join any of the three declarations. Another topic frequently associated with Russian and Chinese nationals is the application of sanctions under the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime. In the first half of 2025, the EU issued two declarations related to this regime. The first, issued on January 10(following Council Decision No. 3004, adopted on December 2, 2024), amended entries for 31 individuals and nine entities. Of these, 24 individuals were Russian nationals and three were Chinese. Among the entities, eight were linked to the Wagner Group, and one was connected to the treatment of Alexei Navalny. The second declaration, issued on May 3, introduced amendments for two individuals — both Russian nationals. Once again, Serbia did not align with either of these two declarations. Other declarations Serbia did not align with were also, directly or indirectly, linked to Russia. For example, the EU issued a declaration on Moldova on May 16, amending restrictive measures originally introduced in 2023 against individuals and entities deemed to be threatening the country's democracy and rule of law. The declaration introduced changes for six individuals and one entity, all of whom are connected either to pro-Russian political forces or pro-Russian media outlets in Moldova. On June 4, the EU published a declaration amending the existing framework for sanctioning those suspected of the proliferation and use of chemical weapons(Decision No. 1544 from 2018). The amendment included the addition of three institutions from the Russian Federation to the list of entities under restrictive measures. 4 Serbia once again failed to align with the updated restrictive measures against North Korea. These sanctions, originally introduced due to North Korea’s nuclear ballistic program, have, since 2024, also targeted individuals and entities that support Russia ’s war in Ukraine. Among those now sanctioned are three individuals responsible for maintaining close ties with Russia, either by supporting its efforts in Ukraine or by helping to circumvent EU sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports. The EU also issued a declaration on Mali, modifying the scope of restrictive measures initially introduced in 2017 and amended in 2021. The latest update lists several Malian officials and politicians. While the reason for their inclusion is not explicitly stated, all have been linked to supporting the activities of the Wagner Group and the Russian Africa Corps in Mali. Additionally, Mali recently severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine, which may explain why Serbia chose not to align with this declaration. Finally, Serbia did not align with the most recent declaration concerning sanctions against Guatemala. Interestingly, Serbia had aligned with the first declaration on this matter, issued on January 10(based on Council Decision No. 3198, adopted on December 16, 2024), which established the framework for restrictive measures. However, Serbia did not align with the second declaration, issued on June 24, which added eight individuals and one entity to the sanctions list. A possible — though not definitive — reason for this may be the involvement of Russian nationals in Guatemala’s mining sector and their connections to leading politicians in the country. It is also worth noting some inconsistencies in Serbia’s alignment behavior. One notable example is Venezuela. Serbia aligned with one EU political declaration condemning the fraudulent 2024 presidential elections and the repression of opposition and independent media by President Nicolás Maduro’s regime, as well as with two declarations related to sanctions. However, despite this formal alignment, the Speaker of Serbia’s National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, attended President Maduro’s inauguration ceremony last year. 5 Alignment with EU foreign policy declarations by other countries During the first half of 2025, Serbia's alignment with EU declarations remained among the lowest compared to other candidate and partner countries, standing at 52 percent(excluding Türkiye, and Georgia, which has the same alignment percentage as Serbia). In contrast, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania continued their trend of full alignment, each achieving 100 percent. The new candidates, Ukraine and Moldova, reached 98 and 89 percent alignment, respectively. Only Türkiye remained at the bottom of the alignment scale, scoring just 3 percent. Partner countries belonging to the European Economic Area(EEA) all achieved alignment rates above 80 percent, while Georgia matched Serbia at 52 percent. Among countries in the EU's Eastern Partnership initiative, Armenia — affected by its deteriorating relationship with Russia, the recent conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, and pressure from Azerbaijan — increased its alignment rate to 34 percent, up from 30 percent the previous year. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, did not align with any declarations during this period.
