Croatia has lodged a diplomatic protest against Serbia following the detention and deportation of five Croatian citizens who were participating in a gathering of civil society organizations in Belgrade. The move has sparked tensions between the neighboring countries, with Croatia demanding an explanation from Serbian authorities.
The incident occurred during a workshop for nongovernmental organizations, where citizens from Romania, Slovenia, Bosnia, and North Macedonia were also reportedly deported without official clarification from Belgrade. Croatian officials have expressed concern over the lack of transparency in the deportations and hinted at issuing a travel warning for Serbia.
