In a resolution, the European Parliament called on the European Commission to consider targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for serious violations of law and human rights in Serbia. The document also urged EU member states to strengthen protection for people at risk, including emergency visas and relocation programmes.
According to the source, the sanctions are presented as a European Parliament call for further consideration, not as an existing sanctions list or a restriction applying to everyone entering Serbia. If adopted, such measures would primarily affect specific individuals and could have political or visa consequences for them, without automatically creating a travel ban for ordinary relocants. The resolution separately mentions emergency visas and relocation programmes for people at risk. The direct relevance for most people planning a move is limited, but the issue matters to politically active individuals and those seeking protection in the EU.
