A vice president of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP), Goran Petrović, has accused the Serbian government of misrepresenting the findings of the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission regarding recent electoral law amendments. Petrović alleges that Minister of Justice Andrej Vujić is framing the Commission’s assessment as a victory for the government despite what he considers a clear defeat. The Venice Commission’s opinion reportedly highlighted significant concerns about the amendments, particularly regarding their potential impact on electoral fairness and democratic processes. Petrović contends that Vujić’s interpretation is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public. The SSP believes the Commission’s report underscores the need for substantial revisions to the electoral laws before upcoming elections. The opposition party views the government’s response as indicative of its unwillingness to address legitimate criticisms of the electoral system. Further details regarding the specific criticisms within the Venice Commission’s report are expected to be released soon.
