Serbian President Aleksandar Vučićsaid today that the new voting booths at polling stations are being procured because this is an ODIHR recommendation, adding that the procurement will cost between seven and eight million euros.
“It would be better for us not to do this, but ODIHR requested it. We need to allocate seven or eight million euros for this thing because they asked us to fulfill all of ODIHR’s recommendations,” Vučić told reporters in Kuršumlija.
He stressed that everyone would be able to vote freely – “however they want.”

“They will have many more people at each polling station because there will be many ballots,” Vučić said.
“Don’t turn this into a circus because you are aware that you will lose the elections,” he added.
He said that “they know that the citizens of Serbia will choose security, stability and normality, further development and progress, rather than uncertainty, madness, beatings and persecution of political opponents.”
Students involved in the blockades described these booths as problematic in an Instagram post, arguing that they make it easier to photograph a ballot.
