The Coalition of "Serbia Against Violence" organized a protest in front of the Constitutional Court of Serbia demanding that this institution annul the municipal and republican elections due to numerous violations. The protest continued in front of the Serbian Radio and Television (RTS) building.
The demonstration is another manifestation of discontent against President Aleksandar Vucic and his "Serbian Progressive Party" for the "stealing of the elections" of December 17.
Before the "Serbia Against Violence" protest, Jelena Jerinich, a deputy from the Green Left Front, and Vladica Ilic, a member of the City Election Commission in the extended composition of the SPN coalition, addressed the attendees.
"Nearly twenty opinions have already been submitted to the Constitutional Court, including requests to annul the elections," she said, adding that the Constitutional Court has not commented on any of these opinions.
"There is evidence that was submitted to the Constitutional Court that these elections were irregular," Ilić emphasized.
"The decisions of the Constitutional Court according to our requests will go down in history either as a bright light or as a shameful example of half-heartedness," Jerinich said.
During the day, the representatives of the coalition submitted a request for the cancellation of the republican elections, after last week they submitted an identical request for the cancellation of the city elections.
The request to the Constitutional Court is the opposition's latest attempt to institutionally annul the recently held elections, which many local and foreign observers say were marred by illegal acts.
The protest will end in front of the RTS building, because according to the organizers, the public service does not adequately reflect the post-election crisis in the country.
BGNES recalls that several thousand people protested in front of the Election Commission almost every day between December 18 and 30, demanding that the elections be annulled. International observers, including those from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the EU, also reported irregularities during the vote, including vote buying and ballot tampering. Among other alleged irregularities, it is alleged that ethnic Serb voters from neighboring Bosnia were allowed and bussed to vote illegally in the capital, Belgrade. /BGNES
