THIRD SECTION
Application no. 18110/25
Kristina AGO and Others
against Serbia
lodged on 18 June 2025
communicated on 1 June 2026
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the alleged infringement of the applicants’ rights to private life, freedom of expression and property. The applicants are a group of university professors from Serbia. In late 2024 and early 2025 they supported ongoing student protests in Serbia by refusing to hold lectures. In response, on 24 March 2025, the Serbian government adopted a regulation whereby the salaries of the professors who participated in the protests by not holding lectures were reduced. The applicants are relying on Articles 8 and 10 of the Convention, as well as Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention.
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1. Have the applicants exhausted all effective domestic remedies, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention?
2. Assuming that domestic remedies have been exhausted:
2.1 Has there been an interference with the applicants’ right to respect for their private life, within the meaning of Article 8 § 1 of the Convention (see Denisov v. Ukraine [GC], no. 76639/11, §§ 100-102, 25 September 2018)? If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article 8 § 2?
2.2 Has there been an interference with the applicants’ freedom of expression, within the meaning of Article 10 § 1 of the Convention? If so, was that interference prescribed by law and necessary in terms of Article 10 § 2?
2.3 Has there been a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention?
