SRBIJA Act

This bill sets U.S. policy toward Serbia, including imposing financial and visa sanctions on people who undermine stability, democracy, or anti-corruption efforts in the Western Balkans. It requires the Secretary of State to send Congress a report on Russian and Chinese influence in Serbia within 180 days and a strategy for U.S. engagement with Serbia within 90 days. The State Department would have to stop taking part in the U.S.-Serbia Strategic Dialogue unless it certifies to Congress beforehand that it will raise topics such as Serbia's ties to Russia, China, and Iran, elections, and corruption. Additional U.S. assistance to Serbia would be authorized only after the President certifies progress on judicial accountability, media freedom, and alignment with the European Union and NATO. The law would expire after five years.
