Serbia makes a bold statement in Euro 2024 - find out why they're threatening to withdraw from the tournament!

Serbia has caused a stir in the football world by threatening to pull out of Euro 2024 following allegations of hateful chants from Croatia and Albania fans during the recent match. The Serbian FA has filed a complaint with UEFA, demanding action against the alleged chants of "kill the Serb." This unexpected move has put the tournament in jeopardy and sparked a heated debate among fans and officials.

In another controversial scenario, Serbia's grey economy has come under scrutiny, with a significant portion of the country's economic activity remaining unregistered, amounting to a staggering €14.7 billion. This revelation sheds light on the challenges Serbia faces in combating informal economic practices and highlights the need for stricter regulations.

Amidst the football drama, solidarity has been shown towards independent journalism in Serbia, with support for media freedom organizations condemning legal actions taken by Judge Dušanka Đorđević and her husband against the Crime Investigation and Reporting Center (KRIK). This display of unity underscores the importance of press freedom in upholding democratic values.

On a diplomatic front, the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities Kairat Abdrakhmanov's visit to Belgrade in June 2024 signifies ongoing efforts to address national minority issues in Serbia. Abdrakhmanov's engagement with the country reflects a commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion within the region, emphasizing the significance of international cooperation in fostering peaceful coexistence.
