CRTA’s verdict: some progress, but several rules stay vague, two are a step backward, and it’s still headed for urgent procedure with no public debate.

And party and state stay fused into one - exactly the blurred line ODIHR has flagged as a priority.

We expect the draft to reach parliament soon.

We analysed 5,384 media pieces mentioning foreign actors across four national channels, Jan 1 - Jun 14, 2026. Full data, methodology and interactive charts: crta.plus/updates/medi... 5/5

And this is not imported interference - not FIMI. Roughly 7 in 10 of these manipulative claims come from Serbian media themselves - not Moscow, not Beijing. 4/5

Even EU integration - Serbia's own stated goal - is framed negatively. Attack the destination every day and the journey stops being credible. 3/5

The EU and Russia got mirror-image coverage - the EU pushed down by negative reporting, Russia lifted up by positive. Same channels, same months. 2/5

New this month: attacks on students paired directly with the glorification of the President. Read CRTA's full monitoring findings: crta.plus/updates/june...

The dominant narratives were, again, vilifying opponents (81 manipulations) and vilifying neighbours (49) - students and protesters cast as enemies of faith and state, neighbours as aggressors against Serbs.

Over the same month, CRTA recorded 162 manipulations on the front pages of print media and in the headlines of central news broadcasts.

You can also build your own. Drag each election - parliamentary, presidential, or local - onto any month, and every deadline is calculated for you.

This is just one of five scenarios CRTA.Plus identifies for the next elections - regular, early, and combined parliamentary and presidential votes.

Each scenario shows what must happen, and the deadlines that follow.

First, the scenario in the headlines: an early presidential election.

If the president resigns, the Speaker of the Assembly calls the vote so it is held no later than 3 months from the end of the mandate. From calling to voting: 30 to 60 days.
