{"id":"SRB-011","notes":"PHASE 0 AT MAXIMUM SCALE: Institutional operationalization of narrative built over 3 weeks (SRB-010). No search warrants presented — unlawful procedure confirmed by BCSDN statement. KEY ANALYTICAL FINDING: Restrictive measures enforced through administrative action before Foreign Agents Law passes — Track 1 harm does not require completed legislation. KOMS inclusion signals expansion beyond traditional CSO targets to youth civic infrastructure. BCSDN warns of regional contagion risk — BiH escalation sequence (BIH-CAMP-003) confirms this pattern already spreading.","country":"Serbia","sources":[{"url":null,"citation":"Politika 25/02/2025 (two articles); Politika 26/02/2025; CRTA Facebook statement; BCSDN solidarity statement, February 2025"}],"summary":"Police simultaneously raid offices of CRTA, Građanske inicijative, CPP, Trag Foundation, and KOMS (National Youth Council of Serbia) on February 25, 2025; seize all USAID documentation, financial records, and computers. Authorities fail to present search warrants; organizations learn of accusations — misuse of USAID funds and money laundering — through pro-government tabloids rather than official notification. Simultaneously, National Bank of Serbia and Anti-Money Laundering Authority instructed to review organizations' financial records — dual-track operation combining physical raids with financial surveillance. Raids conducted while Foreign Agents Law still in parliamentary procedure — authorities enforcing restrictive measures through administrative action before legislation passes.","tactics":[{"code":"TC-20","role":"primary","label":"Security Apparatus Enforcement","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":["Legacy Press","Tabloid"],"entities":[{"id":881,"name":"Nenad Stefanović","role":"actor","entity_type":"Senior Official"},{"id":882,"name":"CRTA, Građanske inicijative, Centar za praktičnu p","role":"target","entity_type":"Sector"}],"date_text":"25/02/2025","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":5,"harm_track":"Both","narratives":[{"code":"NF-02","role":"primary","label":"Financial Corruption / Grant Abuse","needs_review":false},{"code":"NF-01","role":"secondary","label":"Foreign Agent / Foreign Influence","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":["SIG-SRB-011"],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":"2025-02-25","campaign_ids":["SRB-CAMP-006"],"enabler_type":"","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"TR-01: External Political Event","campaign_phase":"Phase 2: Media Execution","civic_response":"Donors suspend transfers; staff report self-censorship of public advocacy; BCSDN issues solidarity statement; civil society, media sector, and activists organize unified support for targeted organizations","date_precision":"day","enabler_status":"","campaigns_served":[],"consequence_category":"Legal/Administrative + Social Trust Erosion","institutional_consequence":"Raids conducted; Financial surveillance; Chilling effect"}
