Serbian Opposition Criticizes President Vučić for China Nuclear Deal Without Public Debate

Serbia's Democratic Party (DS) has voiced strong criticism against President Aleksandar Vučić, accusing him of leading the country into strategic nuclear energy agreements with China without adequate public or expert consultation. The DS highlighted that recent discussions between Vučić and Chinese officials focused heavily on developing nuclear energy with Chinese financial and technological backing.

The party warns that such decisions carry profound and lasting implications, potentially shaping Serbia's energy, economic, and foreign policy landscape for the next 70 to 100 years. The DS emphasized that nuclear energy is not merely a matter of political marketing or individual diplomacy, but a critical issue that demands societal consensus.

"Decisions that will determine Serbia's development in the next century must be made by society through institutions, expert discussion, and full public accountability," the DS stated in a release. The party contends that these agreements are being made within a context of weakened institutions and excluded public discourse, vowing not to allow those responsible for "harmful and non-transparent agreements" to escape political and institutional consequences.

Nuclear energy is not a matter of political marketing or one man's personal diplomacy. Decisions that will determine Serbia's development in the next century must be made by society through institutions, expert discussion, and full public accountability.
