A presentation of the survey of youth opinions on the European integration of Serbia was held on 2 June at the Faculty of Political Sciences. The survey was implemented in April 2016 by the European Movement in Serbia, in cooperation with FPS and second-year students. The presentation of results was followed by a debate with the participation of Tanja Miščević, Head of the Negotiation Team for Serbia’s accession to the EU, Maja Bobić, Secretary General of EMiS, and Ivana Radić Milosavljević, assistant at the Faculty of Political Sciences. The survey was implemented between 19 and 29 April over 979 interviewees across the territory of Serbia, including Kosovo and Metohija, with the participants being young people 15 to 29 years of age.

The results were presented by students, stating that Serbian membership in the European Union is not supported by 33 percent of youth, 27 percent do not care whether Serbia joins the EU, while 12 percent absolutely support membership. Likewise, 42.6 percent of young people believe Serbia should rely on Russia in foreign policy issues, 19.4 believe it should be the EU, while 3.9 percent believe support should be found in the United States. Nearly 80 percent of young people believe things in Serbia are not heading in the right direction, while the average assessment on a scale of one to five for the situation in Serbia is 2.26.

The results of the “Serbia and Europe in the Eyes of Youth” survey can be found here.
