# Serbian Bar Association

A bar association that in July 2025 ordered lawyers across Serbia to suspend work in criminal proceedings for three days over the detention of a lawyer from Užice. In the case of the lawyer arrested over his posts, it said the political nature of the charges gave grounds to suspect that detention was being used as a means of coercion, and it demanded that he be allowed to defend himself at liberty.
