Center for Research, Transparency and Accountability (CRTA) Program Director Rasa Nedeljkov said that, after the 2022 elections, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) sent Serbia 26 recommendations for the improvement of the election process, including nine priority ones, none of which have been fully fulfilled.
Nedeljkov told a press conference in Belgrade that only one of the nine priority ODIHR recommendations has been “partly fulfilled,” which involves the training of the polling committees’ members.
He said CRTA filed 15 complaints with the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM) after the last vote “over various forms of hate speech” and “has not received a single reply” to this day.
“Since 2016 we have witnessed a regression in all the parameters which precede the polling day. The biggest problem is what happens before the very polling day, pressures, blackmail, vote buying…,” said Nedeljkov.
He noted that over half a million Serbian citizens live below the poverty line, and that at the place where they expect to get protection – the social welfare centers, “they are exposed to various pressures and blackmail.”
“Pressure on the voters to vote or not vote is a criminal act,” said Nedeljkov.
