Serbia's Elections Marred by Protests and Allegations of Fraud

Opposition Leaders Begin Hunger Strike Amid Calls for Annulment of Belgrade Municipal Elections

Serbia's recent parliamentary and municipal elections have been met with widespread protests and allegations of fraud, particularly in the capital, Belgrade.
Opposition coalition Serbia Against Violence has demanded the annulment of the Belgrade municipal elections, accusing the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) of illegally busing in voters from other regions and outside the country.
International observers, including Germany and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), have expressed concerns about the election process, citing issues such as abuse of public funds, intimidation of voters, and cases of vote buying.
Despite these allegations, the SNS, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, has declared victory in the elections.
Opposition leaders from the Serbia Against Violence coalition have announced a hunger strike until the Belgrade election is annulled.
