- notes
- Met by CINGO delegation September 8-11 2025 — Biljana Spasovska present as delegation member. Primary source: CINGO Second Report on Serbia (September 2025). PARKED — Nikola Bićanin (reported BIA → Acting Assistant Minister July 2024, working on cyber-security and foreign interference legislation): represents BIA-to-ministry "horizontal movement" trend in 2024. Analytically significant if confirmed — brings security-first lens to civil society oversight. Requires public source verification. Stojanović X handle not confirmed.
- role in campaigns
- Assistant Minister for Justice. Co-chairs EU-Serbia Subcommittee on Justice, Freedom and Security. Rhetorical function: uses EU cooperation framework as platform to legitimize dismissal of international CSO monitoring data. Late 2024-early 2025: shifted from technical cooperation to dismissing CSO data on "shrinking civic space" as biased or factually incorrect — mirrors broader "anti-foreign influence" narrative in other ministries. Three-track anti-CSO positioning in Ministry of Justice: (1) categorization of critical legal NGOs as "unregistered political parties"; (2) advocacy for HJC audit of judges speaking at NGO events; (3) framing "foreign influence" transparency laws as "EU-standard" financial monitoring.
