2026 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 22, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly expresses deep concern over the unhindered operations of State-sponsored Russian media outlets, such as Russia Today and Sputnik, within Serbia. It notes that these platforms are systematically utilised by the Russian Federation as tools of hybrid warfare to spread disinformation, stoke ethnic tensions in the Western Balkans, and undermine democratic processes. The Assembly calls on the Serbian authorities to align with the European Union’s restrictive measures against Russian propaganda channels."
