A report by CRTA, a Serbian watchdog organization, alleges ongoing attempts at “electoral engineering” as Serbia approaches elections. The report details concerns regarding unequal media coverage favoring pro-government actors, creating an uneven playing field for candidates. Furthermore, CRTA cites instances of voter intimidation and hostility directed towards independent election observers, hindering transparent monitoring of the electoral process. The report also alleges offers of money in exchange for political support, raising concerns about potential vote buying. These issues, according to CRTA, pose a significant threat to the rights of voters and the integrity of the upcoming elections in Serbia. The organization’s findings call for increased scrutiny and measures to ensure a fair and democratic process.
