The Serbian MUP expelled a doctor, a Croatian citizen, with the reason to ‘pose a security risk’

The Serbian authorities expelled on Tuesday by the Croatian citizen Arien Stojanovic Ivkovic, married in Belgrade and the mother of a young child from that marriage, forbidding her for a year, explaining that « an unacceptable safety risk » and a deadline of a week to leave the territory of Serbia.

Arien Stojanovic Ivkovic, who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, got a job, married and started a family, and the Serbian authorities decided to deny her hospitality after 12 years of life in the Serbian capital, expel her from the country and forbid her to enter for a year. She received a seven -day deadline for moving her entire life.

The young doctor, who works at an insurance assessment agency for damage caused by bodily injuries, says that he herself does not exactly why it exactly represents the safety risk for Serbia. He sees the fact that she has supported the protests of students and their demands as a possible cause.

For N1 He says that students, their demands and protests, which last more than four months after the death of 16 people in the fall of the canopy at the Novi Sad Railway Station, supported not only on the street but also on their social networks.

She added that on Instagram, as a doctor, she condemned President Aleksandar Vucic’s recent entry into the intensive care department and touching without gloves with heavy burns, received for treatment in Belgrade after a fire last month at a disco in the Macedonian town of Kocani.

Whatever the reason for the expulsion, it has seven days to leave the territory of Serbia, a city where they have lived for more than decades, which inevitably leads to family separation.

The solution of the Serbian MUP, dated 8 April, published by the N1 portal, leaves 15 days of appeal deadline, indicating that the appeal « does not delay the execution ».

Consequently, this solution also ceases the prior approval of temporary residence, which should be valid until February 10, 2027, which also withdraws the abolition of the work permit.

« Maybe I’ll be out of work, maybe I’ll have to take my baby with myself, which means he won’t see his father, go to kindergarten, » she said in an interview with N1, stating that she had addressed the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Belgrade for help.

Hina at the Embassy could not currently comment on the case, and unofficially suggested contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Zagreb.

For Arien Stojanovic Ivkovic, everything changed this morning, April 8, when she was invited to the premises of the police from the Police Directorate, convincing her that everything was fine with her stay.

Arien tells N1 that there were more inspectors waiting for her in the police, including the one she was talking to. On the spot, she was handed a solution that abolished the previously approved temporary stay and forbidden to enter Serbia until April 8, 2026.

The N1 editorial staff asked for a comment on the Serbian MUP, but did not receive an answer.
