Voting (Beta/Dragan Gojic)
The head of the CRTA election observation mission, Rasa Nedeljkov, said on June 22 that Serbia's election had meet "minimum" democratic standards, adding that the CRTA observers recorded irregularities on 8-10 percent of polling stations, twice as many as in the 2016 and 2017 polls.
Nedeljkov said at a press conference that the parliamentary, provincial and local elections in Serbia amounted to "the worst election process" the CRTA observers had ever analyzed.
"Secrecy of the vote and one-man-one-vote principle have been violated, votes were purchased, pressure was exerted on voters outside the polling stations, ballot papers were photographed, there were instances of public voting, voters were brought in to vote, parallel records were kept," Nedeljkov counted, adding that the principle of equality between political parties was disrespected during the campaign as well.
The CRTA leader promised to analyze evidence the observers had collected on the Election Day and publish all irregularities in a final report.
