In the past months, Serbia adopted 23 key laws, including on EU harmonisation, judicial and electoral reforms.

Omissions

• No source was found that explicitly states Serbia adopted 23 key laws in the period before 2026-07-07; searches returned figures of 23 laws for Bosnia and Herzegovina (different country/period) and unrelated '23 students' references for Serbia.
• The European Commission Staff Working Document for Serbia (EUR-Lex CELEX 52026SC0931) mentions that in January 2026 the Parliament amended five laws on the judiciary, which is a smaller package than the claimed 23, but this does not contradict the claim since other laws may have been adopted as well.
• The European Parliament press release of 2026-07-06 on Serbia and enlargement (same plenary session as the claim) could not be used as independent evidence under the rules.
• The Commission's 2026 Serbia country report (SWD(2026)931) was published after the session date, so the MEP could not have known it directly.
