Strah pred volilno nočjo? Volišča zaprta, kaj sledi rezultatom?
Polling stations in Serbia closed at 8 p.m. following early parliamentary elections. These elections could represent a major political turning point for the country over the last decade. Voters chose between the ruling Serbian Progressive Party led by Aleksandar Vučić and a student movement. The process saw very high turnout but was marred by violent incidents and reports of voter pressure. Police and gendarmerie increased their presence in central Belgrade before the first results were released. Warnings were issued regarding potential provocations and clashes during the evening.
V Srbiji so se ob 20. uri zaprla volišča na predčasnih parlamentarnih volitvah, ki bi lahko pomenile največjo politično prelomnico v zadnjem desetletju. Volivci so odločali, ali bo oblast ohranila Srbska napredna stranka (SNS) Aleksandra Vučića ali pa bo po skoraj dveh letih množičnih protestov politični preobrat uspelo doseči študentskemu gibanju. Volitve je zaznamovala izjemno visoka udeležba, pa tudi številni nasilni incidenti, očitki o volilnih nepravilnostih in pritiski na volivce. Pred objavo prvih rezultatov so v središču Beograda okrepili prisotnost policije in žandarmerije, pojavila pa so se tudi opozorila pred morebitnimi provokacijami in spopadi v večernih urah.
