The Belgrade-based Crta democracy watchdog organization said on Tuesday that indifference towards the European Union is growing in Serbia.

“The citizens of Serbia are increasingly less interested in Serbia’s future in the European Union,” Crta said in a press release quoting its poll.

It said that 36 percent of the polled expressed indifference towards EU membership, 28 percent are looking forward to it and 33 expressed concern while 43 percent said they are indifferent towards the possibility of accession talks being stopped. A poll earlier this year also showed a rise in indifference towards EU membership.
Crta recalled that most of the public get their news from pro-government media outlets in which anti-West narrative is dominant.
