Vucic: The opposition in Serbia should end the strike

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Sunday urged a group of opposition leaders to end their hunger strike, a week after parliamentary elections won by the ruling Serbian Progressive Party.

"So let them return to their duties, they can organize protests every day. I think that in the past nine years, almost seven years I have daily protests in front of the Presidency. Every day we have some kind of protest," said the Serbian president.

Five opposition leaders are on hunger strike, after the opposition alliance "Serbia against violence" submitted evidence of election fraud to the Election Commission in Serbia. The opposition says it has been robbed of the victory for the local government in Belgrade and has asked the European institutions not to recognize the results of the elections in Serbia, until a full international investigation into the irregularities during the voting is completed.

The European Union and the United States said that the electoral process in Serbia must be significantly improved, while emphasizing that "the proper functioning of Serbia's democratic institutions is at the core of its membership process in the bloc".

On Monday, the Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said that "the oppression of voters, the decisive engagement of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, as well as the advantages of the ruling party have damaged the election process as a whole."

Government officials insisted that the early elections of December 17 were free and fair despite all the criticism and political tensions after the voting./ VOA
