After the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) asked to consider sending a mission to monitor the electoral process in Serbia, the Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, stated that after the previous elections, the ODIHR assessed that there were conditions for democratic and free elections. and that he sees no reason why it should not be the same now.
"In Serbia, 79 percent of the recommendations of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) were implemented between the two election cycles," said the Prime Minister.
While he considers his call to be serious, he criticizes the opposition's address to the OSCE.
"We are serious and concrete, and they are frivolous and try to involve a foreign factor in causing chaos in Serbia." They are trying to instrumentalize the OSCE and ODIHR and all foreign embassies because they are preparing for electoral failure, for the elections they themselves sought," Brnabić pointed out.
Theft happens long before going to the polling station
The possibility that the opposition will succeed in the elections on December 17, in the electoral conditions as they are today, is small, but certainly the opposition "has no room to give up, because it would give up everything else it does in Serbia", she told N1 Member of Parliament of the Green-Left Front Jelena Jerinić.
Jerinić explains that when it comes to the election campaign, the old ways remain - gatherings, visits to municipalities, "door-to-door" campaigns, constant pointing out of all illegalities and criminal acts of the authorities, but also defending votes.
"Votes are not defended only at the polling station, because theft happens much earlier, through pressures on people," explains Jerinić and reminds that opposition parties provide legal assistance to victims of such pressures.
Program director of CRTE Raša Nedeljkov also believes that the stories about the dates of the elections and the conditions under which they will be held are reduced to speculation, because in today's institutional framework, only one person can talk about it.
"You keep the whole country, the whole society in suspense, it is not known when and under what conditions which elections will be held, which practically means that they are held in such circumstances where only one side has some kind of certainty, plans the rules and fully adapts them to itself ", Nedeljkov tells N1.
There must be institutions
On the contrary, he sees as the ideal of the election a situation in which there are institutions that regulate and protect citizens and where citizens are freed from fear and informed.
According to him, the opposition should participate in the elections under these conditions, just like a sports team takes to the field, despite the fact that the rival team is richer and better equipped, that the judges are favorable to it, and the conditions are bad.
"Those who have invested their entire career in the fight for the sport they play will always participate and do their best, so the opposition parties have no other alternative but to participate in the elections," concludes Nedeljkov.
