Schieder to Brnabic: Calm down and concentrate on task at hand

“I suggest the PM to calm down and concentrate on the task at hand. It has been 1 month since the elections and the Serb authorities haven't investigated any claims of irregularities, as many Serbs and MEPs have repeatedly asked and will ask again today in the EP debate,” he wrote in an X post.

“Since Ana Brnabic continues her crusade against the international observers, let me, in response, again, point out very concrete examples of her questionable claims: In the more than 10 polling stations (and not 4), that I visited, I never signed anything nor was I supposed to report objections for the official records of the polling stations, as claimed. The PM should know, that this is not how it works. We report only directly to ODIHR,” Schieder wrote in an X post.

He also denied her claims that he violated the ODIHR Code of Conduct. “Indeed, we had to abide by it until the I-EOM press conference was held the day after the elections. After that, all observers are free to make statements, which also others have done,” he added.
