More surreal scenes from Serbia: As regime supporters beat up journalists, a man is seen drawing a gun.
In EU candidate Serbia, the ruling party beats up election observers outside a polling station in broad daylight. Widespread incidents and irregularities reported as local elections are held in 10 municipalities in Serbia.
European Democrats write:
“According to reports from Serbia, accredited election observers and activists were beaten and intimidated outside polling stations in Bajina Bašta. Witnesses describe groups of individuals linked to Aleksandar Vučić’s SNS operating around polling stations, creating fear and suppressing oversight.”
This is what Aleksandar Vučić’s democracy looks like: thugs at the ballot box. Not an incident — a system. When violence protects power, elections are no longer free. Friends of the European People’s Party: how can you justify this? Is this really the standard you accept from your own political family?”
Aleksandar Djokic (Александар Джокич) writes:
“These are the scenes from local elections that are held today in Serbia. Organized regime hoodlums on the job. It’s sad to see that only in moments like these do Serbs remember that the EU exists, they tag all European officials. Why not the Iranian, Russian or Chinese embassies? These brave nations that defy the evil West aren’t interested in Serbian democracy? Shocking!”
