From the opening of the voting centers until 09:00, Kreni-Promen observers have noticed serious irregularities in the voting of citizens in Belgrade, Krajevo, Loznica and Novi Sad.

"In New Belgrade, there was pressure on the voters and the "Bulgarian train", which represent a more serious form of electoral irregularities. A group of men were seen getting out of a jeep and approaching voters with cards. After reporting the incident, we immediately notified the competent bodies", it was announced by Kreni-promeni.

The movement has also published a video from New Belgrade from Mileva Marić Einštajn Street on social networks. In addition to this, Kreni-promeni emphasizes that a number of other electoral irregularities have been identified and that in many cases the members of the electoral commissions do not follow important procedures for voting.

"The irregularities observed by our observers are serious violations of the electoral process, in many polling stations the voting day began without inserting the control sheet into the ballot box in the voting center in Stari Grad, many boxes were not sealed at all (Stari Grad , Banjica, Kraljevo) and the voters in the polling stations took pictures of the ballots, which is a violation of the secrecy of the vote", announced Kreni-promeni and added that their observers recorded this data according to legal regulations.

Kreni-promeni also said that during the election day they will continue to inform the public about the irregularities that their observers notice. In addition to 233 accredited observers, Kreni-pereni organized the training and registration of 1,000 opposition observers.

The Belgrade City Election Commission has stated that the allegations of irregularities in the voting centers are completely incorrect, stating that the voting started without sealing the ballot boxes and that the control sheet was not inserted before.

All ballot boxes were sealed before the start of voting and a properly filled control sheet was placed in them, GIK reports.

In addition, GIK has not received information from any voting commission from the territory of New Belgrade about irregularities in the polling stations themselves, as well as around the polling stations, the communiqué states.

We remind you, the list Serbia against violence announced that their representative in the local election commission in Ruski Krstur, in the municipality of Kula, was attacked after noticing unaccredited persons.
