Serbian PM rejects claims of illegal voter registration

A statement by the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) said that Brnabic rejected claims by Democratic Party (DS) deputy leader Srdjan Milivojevic that 98,135 voters were illegally entered into the electoral roll between 2020 and 2023.

“According to official figures which are available to the public there were a total of 6,584,376 voters registered for the 2020 elections and there were just 6,500,666 voters registered in 2023,” she said and added that the basis for Milivojevic’s claims are unclear. She called the public to report any illegally entered names in the electoral roll.

Milivojevic said on Monday that a DS team of experts analyzed available data and found what they said are illegally registered voters from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Croatia and other countries.

Earlier on Tuesday, opposition Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) leader Dragan Djilas told reporters that dozens of people were registered as resident in uninhabitable buildings in Belgrade.
