OPPOSITION DEMANDS A REPEAT OF ELECTIONS IN ZAJEČAR: More than 250 objections sent in just 12 hours!

The Zaječar opposition will demand a repeat of elections at all polling stations, a total of 69, because it noticed irregularities at all of them within just 12 hours, the time it had yesterday to review the election material, reports N1 correspondent.

She adds that not all opposition groups had the opportunity to receive the election material.

According to her, despite the short deadline to review the material, the opposition noticed a multitude of irregularities, and these are not just technical errors, as the president of the Municipal Election Commission (GIK) Zaječar, Nenad Dinulović, stated.

“The opposition has announced that it has already sent over 250 objections. Whether the GIK leaders will resolve these objections, that is, act upon them, we expect to find out during today. Otherwise, opposition representatives announce criminal charges that they will file with the prosecution, given that they believe these elections must not be considered regular,” the reporter states.

She says that the opposition also warned and sent a message to the president of the country that he must annul these elections at all levels, and if he does not, they have called on citizens to join them in the fight to put pressure for the elections to be repeated.

They announce, she adds, renewed protests, and that they will not allow a new convocation of the local parliament to be constituted.

They also claim that they won the elections, that is, that they have at least 2,000 more votes than the representatives of the ruling party.

Also, the reporter states, they believe that the prosecution and police are not doing their job properly at the moment, given that they are, as they said, loyal to the authorities and that the prosecution itself, without filing criminal charges, should have reacted by now, especially to the reports of those people who received money to vote for list number 1.

She also says that for today, the representatives of the Zaječar opposition announced that they would sit down with their legal team and file criminal charges for almost each of the 250 objections, given that they are not sure that the City Election Commission will act on those objections.

However, the president of the GIK Zaječar, Nenad Dinulović, told Tanjug today that the opposition filed a total of 78 objections after reviewing the polling material in Zaječar, and the City Election Commission (GIK) has a 72-hour deadline to decide on them.

Representatives of the opposition, as he said earlier, began inspecting the polling material at the City Assembly yesterday morning.

“Their request, when we spoke, was to be allowed access to the polling material, and we enabled that for them today. Representatives of the ‘Change We Believe In’ list are here, currently five of them, they are rotating, and at one point, a maximum of five members can be present. They will be there until they complete the inspection of all material, probably until 5 or 6 PM,” Dinulović told Tanjug yesterday.

He added that if they had an objection, they would be able to submit it, and the deadline for that expired last night at 8 PM.

He reminded that on Tuesday, representatives of the opposition were received for a discussion with representatives of the City Election Commission to present their demands, and after that, they left the building.

Representatives of the opposition and their supporters gathered on Tuesday and tried to enter the City Assembly building, but the police did not allow them, and at one point, there was pushing.

According to media reports, opposition representatives blocked the City Assembly building on Tuesday and spent the entire night there, claiming that they were not allowed access to the polling materials and that the elections were rigged.

According to preliminary results of the local elections held on June 8 in that city, the Serbian Progressive Party list “We Don’t Give Up Serbia – Aleksandar Vučić” won the most votes, namely 47.13 percent of votes or 27 mandates.

The list “Change We Believe In” received 19 mandates, 10,312 votes or 34.23 percent, and “United for the Salvation of Zaječar” received 2,284 votes or 7.58 percent and four mandates.

Final results are to be published when 96 hours have passed since the closing of polling stations or 96 hours after the submission of objections.
