Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday that the SNS-led majority collected more than 100 signatures in support of what President Aleksandar Vucic called an advisory referendum on his presidency.
“Here’s our 100 signatures. We’ree waiting for the 67 signatures of the opposition,” she said and recalled the CRTA democracy and election watchdog NGO’s release of poll results showing that Vucic does not have majority support among the public. Vucic offered the advisory referendum in an Instagram post on Tuesday, referring to the CRTA poll and calling the opposition to gather the required 67 signatures to initiate the procedure for the vote.
Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) chief MP Milenko Jovanov said that 111 of the 113 SNS MPs signed the initiative for the referendum.
Brnabic told a news conference in parliament that the opposition has to submit the signatures of their MPs or else “this will just create added tension and is their way to destabilize Serbia”. She said the advisory referendum is “a democratic opportunity for the opposition to achieve its supreme goal – removing Vucic as head of state”, adding that the opposition “won’t get out of this easily”.
“The Serbian president only cited a fragment of our research, without taking into account other details,” CRTA Program Director Rasa Nedeljkov told N1.
“We didn’t go into whether an advisory referendum is legally possible, because it is not, and it is both illegal and unconstitutional, but we wanted to see to what extent citizens, those exposed to certain propaganda, perceive that,” said Nedeljkov.
