During a recent debate concerning the functioning of institutions in Serbia, Alicia Kearns, a British Member of Parliament and member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, delivered a detailed address. Kearns posited that a state’s conduct toward neighboring countries serves as a significant indicator of how its government operates within its own borders. She argued that the manner in which a government treats its neighbors reflects the methods by which it exercises power over its own citizenry.
Kearns drew a comparison between geopolitical patterns, citing instances of external aggression alongside internal suppression of dissenting voices. She then directed this model of governance toward Serbia. According to the British MP, there are observable patterns of concern regarding the state’s actions.
Specifically, she highlighted allegations that the government has provided support to individuals involved in attacks, offered shelter to those implicated in the Banjska incident, and, based on available evidence, has reportedly armed these parties. These observations, she stated, are verifiable. The critique centers on the perceived alignment between the state’s external support structures and its domestic governance practices.
The discussion within the Parliamentary Assembly focused heavily on accountability, suggesting that the treatment of international relations in Serbia warrants close scrutiny regarding the rule of law within its national framework.
