On Dec. 12 Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that there would be 5,586 observers in elections on Dec. 17 which was a record number, not including observers from political parties.
Brnabic told B92 that the elections would be observed by the European Parliament, ODIHR, International Foundation for Electoral Systems, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and the Council of Europe, the central electoral commissions of Georgia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Canadian, Norwegian, Swiss, German and U.S. embassies, domestic NGOs and many others.
"Everyone who asked to observe our elections, to be at voting stations, has practically received permission," the prime minister said.
She said that despite said number of observers, the opposition "is creating an atmosphere" that there was going to be massive electoral fraud.
Brnabic called a march on Dec. 12 to the Republic Electoral Commission's headquarters, announced after an electoral rally held by Serbia Against Violence ticket in Belgrade, a "form of pressure" on the commission.
