During the election campaign in Serbia, over 100 individuals engage in daily calls to inquire whether citizens intend to vote for the ruling Serbian Progressive Party. This coordinated group’s operational methods have sparked concerns of potential vote-buying and financial transactions involving “black money”. These observations were personally witnessed by a journalist from CINS who joined this group.
The President of the Belgrade committee of the party Zajedno, Djordje Miketic, a member of the Serbian parliament, received an explicit photograph of himself along with a threatening message from an unknown number via Viber. The video was later published on social media. In response, Miketic issued a statement confirming the authenticity of the video. He then withdrew from the election campaign.
