Serbia: election campaign ends, vote on Sunday
Few doubts about Vucic's party victory. Opposition boycotts
19 June, 14:03There will be electoral silence today and tomorrow, but this does not concern social media. About 21 lists of parties, movements, and formations, both from the government and the moderate opposition sides, run in the election. In an appeal issued yesterday, radical opposition leaders - Dragan Djilas, Bosko Obradovic, and Vuk Jeremic - urged citizens not to go to the polls on Sunday in order not to give legitimacy to President Vucic's "authoritarian regime and autocratic power." According to the radicals, the media are not free and are under the strict control of power, plus the health situation and the persistence of the coronavirus epidemic are not ideal conditions for regular elections. The slightly more than 6.5 million voters will be able to vote on Sunday in 8,385 polling stations from 7 am to 8 pm. About 3,340 local and 110 foreign observers will monitor the vote. (ANSA).
