One thing that i forgot to mention is that a lot of this is closely related to the Kosovo issue. The EU wants to expand until it includes every European country, but Serbia is a thorn in their side and can't be accepted into the EU until they accept the theft of their Kosovo province.
The EU is pushing extremely hard to try and get them to renounce their claims to Kosovo but so far this has been a step too far even for this semi-comprador government. It would incur massive backlash from the Serbian population, so the EU need a Serbian government that would be totally and exclusively subservient to Brussels and not their own people. That's what this is really about.
It would take a government like the one they imposed on Ukraine after the Maidan coup that would be willing to deploy brutal force against their own people to crush any protests, labeling them "Russian funded", "nationalist extremists", "terrorists", etc. for not accepting to have their country being sold out like that. The European media would all work in complete alignment to legitimize this national betrayal and to demonize the opposition, telling everyone that this is the only way into "Serbia's European future" and that anyone against it is "working for Putin" and "trying to hold Serbia back". This is in my opinion the real ulterior agenda of those behind funding the protests, even though most of the protestors are not aware of it.
