Bilcik to AFET: Thourough investigation needed into Serbian elections

“I stress the importance of a thorough investigation into all complaints related to the elections, including the recent request filed with the Constitutional Court to annul the December 17 Belgrade City Assembly elections by the official from the Serbia Against Violence coalition,” he said in a written submission to the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET).

He said that the concerns raised by the Serbian opposition about voter migration, falsified signatures, and phantom voters, underscore the need for a comprehensive examination of the electoral process.

Bilcik said that the investigations have to be conducted with utmost transparency and efficiency, and the findings addressed promptly to maintain the credibility of the electoral process.

He recalled that the international observers did not look into the local elections, adding that any issues with the elections in Belgrade have to be handled separately from the parliamentary vote.
