Tepic: ODIHR final report confirms election fraud

Tepic, deputy leader of Serbia Against Violence (SPN) member Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), said that the report gives legitimacy to the belief that the elections for the Belgrade City Assembly have to be repeated.

According to her, everything that the opposition claimed about the December17 elections is in the report including organized voter migration, fake electoral rolls, the dominance of the president, bias in favor of the authorities in national media, buying votes and pressure on public sector employees. “Not to mention unequal media conditions,” she said.

“When someone says the elections were held in unequal conditions, favoring one man, one party, in a polarized society, with hate speech, insults of political opponents and journalists, that is called not equal, not free, not democratic elections. When someone detects vote buying, corruption, bribery, money for votes – that is fraud. When someone documents the problematic electoral rolls, that means the institutions aren’t doing their job nor are prosecutors, the police and others. This report confirms everything we said and on election fraud in Serbia,” she said.
