The European Court of Human Rights has issued an interim measure to the Serbian government to halt the forced eviction of Roma families in Belgrade’s Voždovac municipality. The ruling specifically prohibits the demolition of homes at the corner of Braće Jerković and Vojvode Vlahovića.

The court set a deadline of September 1 for the cessation of demolition activities to allow for the establishment of facts. The Serbian government must also submit information regarding the situation within seven days. This legal intervention follows warnings from the A11 Initiative, which argued that the planned eviction of over 30 residents, including 15 children, would violate domestic and international standards due to a lack of adequate relocation plans.
