Serb List filed an appeal with the Election Panel: CEC decision unlawful and anti-Serb

The Serb List has filed an appeal with the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel over the decision of the Central Election Commission not to publish the final results of the parliamentary elections held on December 28 for that party.

“In the name of the Serb List, an appeal has just been submitted to the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel against the unlawful, anti-Serb and discriminatory decision of the Central Election Commission, which refused to publish the final results of the snap parliamentary elections for our party, thereby denying 42,759 votes cast by Serbs,” the statement said.

They expressed hope that the Panel would issue a decision in accordance with the law.

“We expect the Election Panel to annul the shameful decision of the Central Election Commission and to issue a ruling in line with the law, thereby protecting the rights of the Serbian people, as well as the legality and integrity of the electoral process,” the Serb List said.

On Saturday, the Central Election Commission published the final election results, but not those for the Serb List.

Following that decision, Igor Simic, a member of the Presidency of the Serb List, announcing the appeal, said it was a shameful decision that showed the CEC had lost credibility as an independent institution.
