Serbia: Allegations of vote buying in Aleksinac elections

The Roma Academic Circle has warned of risks regarding vote buying and voter pressure during the upcoming National Council of the Roma National Minority elections scheduled for November 8. The group has called on international organizations, including the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and the EU Delegation in Serbia, to closely monitor voting in Roma settlements.

Separately, legal experts from the Center for Research, Transparency and Accountability (CRTA) have commented on allegations of vote buying involving Usama Zukorlić’s list (SPP) during repeat parliamentary elections in Aleksinac. While the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Aleksinac has opened an investigation following reports of money or gifts being offered to voters, CRTA lawyer Pavle Dimitrijević noted that the list would likely retain its parliamentary mandate even if the allegations are proven, as a new vote would not be triggered.

In Republika Srpska, market inspectors have issued fines totaling approximately 860,000 KM to fuel traders for failing to adhere to prescribed profit margins, though officials report that the market has since stabilized compared to March.
