Pegasus spyware found on Belgrade University rector's phone; autonomy attacked

The University of Belgrade's rector, Vladan Đokić, was reportedly targeted with Pegasus spyware, an attack condemned by the 'rebellious university' as a violation of autonomy and civil liberties. The incident suggests state-linked surveillance of academic leadership in Serbia, though attribution and scope remain unconfirmed. This marks a notable escalation in domestic surveillance practices, raising concerns about press and academic freedom.
