Serbian election irregularities and voter intimidation
Overview
During the Serbian elections, reports emerged of physical disruptions and voter intimidation at specific polling locations. In Leskovac, an electoral board member allegedly broke a ballot box and assaulted a student representative, leading to police and medical intervention. In Mladenovac, individuals identifying as observers reportedly entered a gerontological center to pressure immobile voters.
Following these incidents, the Studentski pokret movement issued allegations that the outgoing regime utilized bribery, threats, and pressure to influence the vote. The group specifically claimed that the economic vulnerability of the Roma community was exploited through offers of money, social assistance, or employment in exchange for votes, alongside threats to withhold essential services. The movement also raised concerns regarding the potential misuse of personal data by local officials and coordinators to exert political control.
