The Romani Party has sharply criticized Serbia's legislative actions, asserting that the country is now facing a "correction" from the Venice Commission. According to party president Srđan Šajn, this situation arises from laws enacted under the leadership of Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić.
Šajn declared that Serbia has been placed on a "probationary" status with the Venice Commission, an advisory body of the Council of Europe on constitutional matters. He accused Brnabić of misrepresenting the commission's assessment, stating she is attempting to portray Serbia's position as a success when it is, in fact, a failure.
"Serbia is on probation with the Venice Commission," Šajn stated, directly challenging the narrative presented by the Parliament Speaker. The Romani Party's statement implies that the laws passed are problematic and have drawn significant concern from the international advisory body, necessitating corrective measures.
