AI justification

Strengthening authoritarian security cooperation undermines democratic freedoms and human rights. | The visit and joint statement formalize a deepening of Serbia-China relations, which carries minor positive aspects in terms of international partnerships (SDG 17). However, the agreement to cooperate on counterterrorism and suppress 'colour revolutions' poses significant risks to freedom of expression, assembly, and political participation (UDHR Articles 19, 20, 21), outweighing the benefits.
