Schieder: Brnabic claim of lies Ridiculous
European Parliament election observer mission member Andreas Schieder MEP said on Friday that Prime Minister Ana Brnabic’s claims that he lied about irregularities at Sunday’s vote were ridiculous.
“My reaction to the ridiculous attacks and disinformation of Serbian PM Brnabic towards me: if there would be free media in Serbia and the authorities would prevent irregularities and allow equal conditions for participants in the elections, we would not have to even discuss these matters,” he said in an X post reacting to Brnabic’s claims on pro-regime TV Pink.
“Instead of dealing with the numerous claims of voter pressure, vote-buying, compromised ballot secrecy, biased media, and the president’s involvement in the campaign, PM Brnabic has decided to attack us, international observers for doing our job. If this is the price to pay for more democracy in Serbia, then I hope authorities now listen and pay attention to these claims and we shall have a more adequate reaction from the government, instead of inventing new accusations about EU interference in the elections,” he added.
“We are not enemies of Serbia, but we just expect free and fair elections from a candidate country, like we have in EU countries,” Schieder said in the post.
