The director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, ODIHR Matteo Maccachi, said that they plan to open an observation mission for the Belgrade elections from April 29, which would include experts and long-term observers, as well as short-term observers who would come a few days before election day.
Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, ODIHR Matteo Maccachi, paid a two-day visit to Belgrade. He met with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, the Speaker of the Serbian Parliament, Ana Brnabić, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ivica Dačić, the representative of the Government, Miloš Vučević, representatives of the ruling and opposition parties, the Republican Election Commission and civil society.
"The willingness of political parties in Serbia to discuss improving the electoral process is encouraging, but significant dialogue and deeper commitment are still needed to overcome differences," the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights announced.
McCatchi said that in recent weeks it was good to see the efforts of the government and the opposition to find a way to implement the ODHIR recommendations to improve election conditions, and added that "it is important that open political issues do not hinder the commitment to work on the implementation of the OSCE recommendations and to ensure that rules and practices related to democratic elections are widely supported".
"An inclusive and transparent process is necessary to ensure positive outcomes, which will benefit the Serbian people now and in the future," said McCatchi.
In connection with the Belgrade elections, he emphasized the importance of impartial international observation, in order to build voters' trust in the electoral process, and it would also be a deterrent for potential abuses of power.
The announcement states that the ODIHR plans to open an observation mission for the Belgrade elections from April 29, which would include experts and long-term observers, as well as short-term observers who would come a few days before election day.
