Election theft?

In Zaječar, "tarnished" ballots were found two days after the election

Two days after the election, Uglješa Đuričković, the opposition candidate for mayor of Zaječar, claims for "Vreme" that two ballots were found at one polling station, which to him smells like theft.

Holder of the "Change we believe in" list at the past elections u Zajecaru Uglješa Đuričković claims for "Vreme" that two ballots were found at a polling station in a kindergarten this Tuesday (June 10) on which the lists "We do not give Serbia - Aleksandar Vučić" and "We, the strength of the people, Prof. Dr. Branimir Nestorović" were circled.

"Today we found ballots on which these two lists were circled. How is this possible in a normal election procedure, in a normal country, in a democratic country where everything is fine, where everything is regular, how is it possible for us to find ballots in one polling station in a small table? It is completely clear what they did," Đuričković told "Vreme".

He claims that on elections held in a city in the east of Serbia recorded "the ugliest election theft that exists".

Đuričković claims that voters were brought in from outside.

"The turnout was huge, the opposition got more than 15.000 votes, only our list 10.500. In the last elections, SNS got 10.000 votes. They experienced a terrible debacle. The fact that they brought people from Šid, Sombor, Subotica, Zrenjanin to vote is another story and it's not fair. Our voters have a face and a face and a shape and a name and surname, and their voters don't." Đuričković adds.

In Zaječar, the largest city in the east of Serbia, the progressives took 48,4 percent of the votes, while the "Change we believe in" list won 33,19 percent of the votes.

Were there any irregularities?

The city election commission of Zajecar announced the preliminary results of the elections on Monday (June 9), and as stated, the elections took place in a democratic atmosphere and no major irregularities were recorded.

As announced by the President of the City Election Commission, Nenad Dinulović, not a single objection was received until the publication of the preliminary results.

GIK, Dinulović added, will consider all objections if they arrive within the legal deadline, that is, within 72 hours from the submission of the objection.

CRTA claims that the elections in Zaječar, as well as in Kosjerić, were held in extremely unfair and unfree conditions, and that the atmosphere on election day resembled a state of siege.

According to CRTE observers, election day in both places was marked by the presence of the police, as well as persons in civilian clothes with unclear powers, many of whom gave the impression of "beaters" by their appearance and behavior.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
