Euractiv (20 February 2020)

An anti-immigration campaign launched by a Serbian rightwing nationalist party has sparked unease within the disparate opposition coalition to which it belongs.

The Dveri party launched a petition on Tuesday (18 February) accusing the government of President Aleksandar Vučić of trying to settle migrants in the country permanently.

The petition opposed the “creation of new reception centres for migrants in Serbia”.

It also called for the “annulment of decisions taken by the municipalities aimed at improving conditions for migrants”.

Although it was signed by fewer than 1,000 people by Wednesday, it sparked unease within the opposition Alliance for Serbia coalition. Along with Dveri the alliance consists of some 10 parties varying from the left to the extreme right.
