Since the Serbian elections on 17 December, the opposition has been accusing the ruling party of organised registration of voters who otherwise do not live in Belgrade to vote in the city’s local election. Similar accusations, with leaked audio recordings to back them up, were made against former Prime Minister of North Macedonia (then FYR Macedonia) Nikola Gruevski.
Even before 17 December, opposition from the “Serbia Against Violence” coalition was making allegations that “phantom voters” were being registered in Belgrade, which the government representatives denied.
