Kirsten Schönefeld

Kirsten Schönefeld is the head of the Belgrade office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, a German political foundation associated with the Social Democratic Party. She plays a critical role in observing and analyzing the political movements and student protests in Serbia, especially in the context of the current political crisis under President Aleksandar Vučić. Schönefeld views the recent protests as a significant process of political engagement among students, reflecting a loss of legitimacy for the government and a rising demand for democracy and anti-corruption measures.
