Serbia channels €250k to pro-government diaspora groups since 2023

Serbia's foreign ministry has allocated over €250,000 since 2023 to diaspora organizations that align with the ruling party's right-wing policies, indicating state-funded influence operations abroad. The funding raises concerns about the use of public resources to bolster political support among Serb communities, potentially affecting regional relations and diaspora politics. The extent of coordination and the full scope of activities remain unclear.
