This makes me question why was EU funding Serbia in the first place

Here is some context why money got frozen:
1. The people here protested so that institutions would start functioning and start fighting the corruption.
2. The Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (TOK) actually started investigating stuff
3. TOK filed corruption charges against two ministers over the canopy collapse
4. TOK launched charges against minister Selaković for forging signatures related to construction corruption (Generalstab)
5. TOK uncovered 5 tons of marijuana linked to an SNS council member
6. SNS (Vucic party) retaliates by dismantling TOK in parliament of Serbia, placing it under the loyalist Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office (VJT), this is called “Mrdić’s Laws” here
7. VJT uses new “Mrdić’s Laws” to continue breaking up TOK, reassigning prosecutors who were doing their jobs to other administrative positions
8. The opposition and legal experts call for help from the Venice Commission and the EU, as Serbia is accountable to them
9. The Venice Commission demands that “Mrdić’s Laws” be repealed and that prosecutors be returned to their positions
10. The EU threatens to cut funding if this is not done
11. Vučić says it will be reverted, Mrdić says the same, but nothing happens beyond words, they wait and hope EU will forget it, as always happen
12. The EU cuts off funding to Serbia, requesting “Mrdić’s Laws” to be reverted -> we are here.

Stop giving money to autocrats and the people will do the rest.

Good, because that mini-russian-wannabe-empire should not get my money.

Good, fuck Serbia’s leadership. EU should not make the mistake of inadvertently funding the regime like they did with Orban.

Finally! Next stop: sanctions and asset freeze for everyone linked to the ruling party. SNS, SPS, Zavetnici, SRS, all mobsters and propagandists need to get sent to the dumpster of history once and for all!

Personally I don’t like this decision because removing the funding for Serbia will just make them closer to China.
China is already funding a lot of things in Serbia (like the Autobahn) and this will just give China more opportunities to expand their influence there. EU is funding for previous “promises”, China is funding and asking to get paid back in 20-30 years time when they need Serbia’s influence in Europe.
This will make things problematic for the EU down the road when looking at the expansion of NATO and EU.
