Serbia

Authorities have carried out arrests in Novi Sad and Kraljevo, targeting individuals suspected of planning disturbances on the upcoming election day. This move follows concerns raised by SRCE, who requested guarantees from the government that a state of emergency or ban on peaceful gatherings would not be declared in the final days of the campaign, citing statements from Vladimir Orlić, Director of the Security Intelligence Agency, and Ana Brnabić, acting President of Serbia.

Meanwhile, new allegations of election irregularities have emerged, with KRIK uncovering voter registration manipulations in Vienna, where a baker allegedly prepared votes for Aleksandar Vučić, former President of Serbia who is now running for Prime Minister. A family is also seeking justice for a death that occurred eight months ago, alleging that the investigation is being stalled until after the elections to protect those involved.

Additional developments include CINS releasing car conversation recordings related to the abduction of an activist, and the discovery of Pegasus spyware on the phones of a university rector and associates of the prosecutor's office, with no institutional response. Dusan Bajatovic, General Manager of Srbijagas, is facing court over serious charges and drunk driving.
