The Serbian parliamentary elections will be repeated in thirty polling stations. The electoral commission announced this on Wednesday after irregularities were reported (see video above). This particularly affects citizens in rural areas.
The new election date is December 30. In total there are more than 8,000 polling stations in Serbia. As reported, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić won victory in the parliamentary and local elections on Sunday. According to the published results, his right-wing populist Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) received 46.7 percent of the votes. However, the loose opposition alliance Serbia Against Violence received only 23.5 percent.
However, there was criticism of the official result. On Monday, international observers reported “irregularities” during the polls, including incidents of violence, vote buying and the throwing of counterfeit ballots into the ballot box. The Foreign Ministry in Berlin said the alleged violations were “unacceptable for a country with EU candidate status.”

The opposition also expressed criticism. According to her, tens of thousands of residents of the Bosnian Serb republic of Republika Srpska were brought here in buses to cast their votes illegally in Belgrade. Although they are allowed to participate in national elections, they are not allowed to participate in local elections.
Vučić is combative. “We will defend the will of the people and there is no doubt about that,” it said on its channels. ‘I also want to tell you not to worry. Many from abroad would like to impose their solutions on us to turn Serbia into a banana republic.”
