Last year Serbia recorded slight improvement in human rights protection, while the journalists remained unsecured and human rights activists were regularly exposed to online threats, the Human Right Watch (HRW) said.

In the part of the report dealing with Kosovo HRW said journalists faced threats and intimidation too, while criminal proceedings regarding crimes against them were slow.

The report also mentioned that what it called “a controversial plan on border changes between Kosovo and Serbia” caused concern about consequences that population transfer might have on human rights.
