Nemanja Nenadic (BETAPHOTO/MEDIA CENTER BELGRADE)
Chairman of the working group for improving electoral conditions Nemanja Nenadic said on June 25 that all proposed legal solutions, linked to the ODIHR's unmet recommendations, should pass through a public hearing procedure and then be adopted by Serbian parliament by July 1 next year.
Nenadic told BETA after a June 25 working group session that there were currently 87 unmet ODIHR recommendations, but that there would undoubtedly be more when this European organization released its report on local elections on June 2.
He said that there were several steps that would give the ruling parties above all a chance to show whether there was a political will to improve the electoral process.
"The first is for them to propose some legal solutions on their own, and not just comment on the proposals made by civil society and the opposition. The second, which is even more important, is that everything that the working group proposes be immediately reviewed by boards and put to vote at the first next session of parliament," Nenadic added.
He said that a number of members of the working group stressed on June 25 that the priority should be amendments to laws that would enable the revision of the electoral roll.
