In the Klisa neighbourhood of Novi Sad, two groups of citizens clashed. According to a social media post by the Bravo civic movement, the confrontation began after individuals were allegedly caught with a parallel voter list.
Tensions were also reported at Trgić in Novi Sad’s Novo Naselje neighbourhood, according to local news outlet 021.
A mobile monitoring team said it had spotted people carrying sacks and envelopes. Police, several men, mobile monitoring teams and students were at the scene. Citizens also reported receiving threats.
According to 021, footage also shows Gorski Matović, who was previously detained over incidents outside the Serbian National Theatre in which students were attacked.
Videos circulating on social media also appear to show organised transport of voters to polling stations, as well as people who are not members of polling station committees bringing in election materials.
