In Ruski Krstur, municipality of Kula, at polling station 34, a member of the local election commission (LIK) was attacked in front of the coalition Serbia against violence, it was reported from that list.
As part of the regular activities of LIK members, she established that persons with false accreditations at the polling station were keeping parallel records of the voters who went out. After she asked them to identify themselves and explain what they were doing, the third person physically assaulted, hit the LIK member and stole her mobile phone, according to the statement.
Persons with false credentials and parallel records presented themselves as IPSOS observers and added that they "received training in the Arena."
Members of the mobile team of the Serbia against violence list are on the ground and waiting for the police, the statement added.
The so-called parallel registration of voters is prohibited by law because only electoral committees are allowed to have a list of voters at a polling station. In the past, the Serbian Progressive Party was often accused of massively violating this rule.
Allegedly, the party activists keep records of who voted and who did not, so that they could then call or go to the door of those who have not yet voted, and "promised" a sure vote for the SNS.
