EPC Warns EU Influence on Serbia Waning Amid Mladić Glorification

The European Policy Centre (EPC) warns that Serbia's glorification of Ratko Mladić and denial of genocide undermine its EU accession prospects, signaling a decline in EU leverage over Belgrade. The warning follows Serbia's continued drift from EU conditionality, with no immediate policy shift from Brussels. This matters as it highlights the EU's weakening normative influence in the Western Balkans.
