**Serbians Lack Trust in Police**
A recent survey has shown that more than 70% of Serbians have little or no trust in their police force. Only 6.1% of respondents said they trusted the police.
The survey, conducted by the “Dr Rodolphe Archibald Reiss” Police Association, found that nearly 72% believe politicians have full control over the police’s operations. This has led to concerns about political influence and corruption within the force.
**Key Findings**
* 37.8% of citizens think the police primarily protect the interests of the Serbian Government
* 9.4% of those surveyed believe the police only protect the interests of their top officials
* 55.6% of respondents said the police act professionally only at times
