The four opposition coalitions said they will not drop their demand for all the alleged irregularities to be fully investigated by the Republic Electoral Commission, RIK, even though all of them made it into parliament at the April 24 polls. The coalitions around the Democratic Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Enough is Enough movement and the Democratic Party of Serbia-Dveri alliance also said they will also demand reforms of Serbia’s election legislation, which they claim is full of systematic errors. Bosko Obradovic, the president of the far-right Dveri, told BIRN that the opposition will produce a final report on the parliamentary election which will sum up all the reports issued by the RIK.
It will also ask to see all the RIK’s election documents, voter lists and polling station records. “In the end, we will suggest the reform of the entire electoral legislation so that these things do not happen again,” Obradovic said.
After the election on April 24, the four opposition groups accused the ruling Serbian Progressive Party of rigging the elections and demanded the resignations of RIK president Dejan Djurdjevic and the director of the Institute of Statistics, Miladin Kovacevic.
