SRCE: Marta Kos must be aware that Petrašinović's laws are not the path to free elections
The adoption of a set of election laws, proposed by SNS MP Miroslav Petrašinović and welcomed by European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, represents a classic example of political simulation of reforms, announced the Srbija centar party.
TL;DR
- Srbija centar calls the new election laws a 'political simulation of reforms'.
- The party claims the laws do not address systemic causes of electoral fraud, such as official campaigns and voter pressure.
- Key ODIHR recommendations have been ignored, while others are being circumvented.
- New provisions could allow for the disqualification of opposition observers and the creation of 'fake' minority lists.
- Srbija centar warns EU Commissioner Marta Kos that supporting these laws endorses 'form without substance' and encourages electoral manipulation.
