The European Union urged Serbia on Wednesday to respect the fundamental values, which are at the heart of the "common European project", and to reduce tensions.

This reaction from Brussels came after warnings about a large rally to be held in Belgrade on March 15, where Serbian authorities predict the possibility of "violence", while Serbian President Aleksandar Vuçiq has threatened with arrests.

The EU stressed that freedom of assembly is a fundamental right that must be respected.

The European Union also noted the importance of citizen participation in building a democratic and transparent society.

Brussels officials are closely monitoring the political situation in Serbia and the mobilization of students and other groups. They deny the accusation of VuçiqIt is claimed that the West is behind the "colorful revolution" and emphasize that disinformation and political rhetoric, including attacks on the EU, are not appropriate on Serbia's path towards European integration, RTS reports.

Serbian students have called for a mass rally in Belgrade on March 15 and are already heading to the capital from other cities. They have been protesting for four months, demanding accountability for the tragedy that took place in Novi Sad, where 15 people lost their lives.

Protesters demand the publication of documents related to the reconstruction of the Novi Sad Railway Station and the prosecution of those responsible for the accident.

Serbian authorities claim to have met the students' demands, but a report from the Senate of the University of Belgrade denies this.
