Today I had a chance to represent Centar za promociju civilnog društva in a panel discussion on #CSOs and #cybersecurity organized by TAG International. It was a truly useful discussion (subjectively, of course👀) and I am immensely glad that a lot of civil society actors across Bosnia and Herzegovina are on the same page regarding #DigitalTransition and #CyberSecurity in terms of not only our work but also other societal developments we are witnessing. Thank you Semir Dedic & e-Transformacija for the invitation!

📢 Serbia added to CIVICUS Monitor Watchlist for the 3rd time as civic space deteriorates! Mass protests against government corruption have spread across hundreds of cities, drawing up to 100,000 people after the Novi Sad train station collapse killed 15 and injured two. Authorities initially responded with arrests and excessive force, then withdrew police protection, allowing ruling party-affiliated groups to attack protesters. 🚨 Over 70 attacks on demonstrators recorded, including vehicles plowing into crowds 🚨 Civil society under pressure – office raids, smear campaigns, and financial investigations 🚨 Protesters and activists face illegal surveillance, arbitrary arrests, and leaks of personal data “The crackdown on civil society in Serbia reflects a regional trend. We are witnessing systematic efforts to weaken independent civic voices across the Western Balkans,” says BCSDN’s Head of Policy and Advocacy, Anja Bosilkova-Antovska. ❗ With civic space collapsing, urgent international action is needed to prevent further backsliding and protect fundamental freedoms. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dcwniY6p CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, Civic Initiatives / Građanske inicijative
