About us

We are CRTA - an independent, non-partisan civil society organisation committed to developing democratic culture and civic activism. At the very core of CRTA’s mission and all our efforts lies a tireless fight for advancing democracy in Serbia.

We wanted to take a deeper look at the decade behind us, recognize the crucial moments that shaped, or are to this day shaping the reality we live in, and, as much as possible, offer a roadmap for strengthening democratic institutions and forces in our society. The result is the publication "Undermining Democracy: Institutions and Processes in Serbia 2010-2020".

We believe that it is only through joint efforts that we can change society, no matter how unattainable those changes may seem at times. Because of that, this two-year long research was an opportunity to engage more actively with academic scholars, with whom we share our dedication to facts, collecting and verifying relevant data, critical thinking about our surroundings, and interpreting events that direct socio-political developments.
