The upcoming elections must take place and postponing them for September due to the coronavirus would not "substantially change anything", Serbia’s Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic, said and added that delaying the election would prevent the Serbian Government from having full legitimacy.

She told TV Pink that the opposition, which is boycotting the elections, did not use the past four years to create a political program and present it to the citizens, which is why they now „hope that the number of newly infected (with the coronavirus) will increase.“

„They hope that the coronavirus will be on their side again. First, they criticized us for not imposing a state of emergency, later they criticized restrictive measures, now they criticize the lifting of those measures,“ Brnabic added.
