The European People's Party (EPP) is scrutinizing the associate membership of Aleksandar Vučić's Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) amid mass protests in Serbia over corruption and police brutality. EPP President Manfred Weber stated that the investigation will occur soon, as criticism of Vučić's ties with Russia and handling of protests grows within the party. Despite the controversies, some in the EPP believe maintaining communication with Vučić is essential. Vučić claims Serbia's future lies in the EU and defends police actions against protesters, while facing increasing criticism from European institutions. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
