Political analyst Cvijetin Milivojević and editor of daily Danas Dragoljub Draža Petrović estimate that opposition candidates in the presidential election have not done enough to fight for fair electoral conditions. Whoever thought that would beat Vučić in such circumstances was or naive or was joking, said Milivojević.
Petrović said that these elections looked like “Vučić’s easy morning run.” He believes that in these conditions the opposition should boycott and not to spread false hope that did not exist.
Petrović recalls about the “flood of Vučić” in the media. He says that all News began with 10 minutes of Vučić, who opens factories and answers 10 questions in various fields as the prime minister, before the pre-election rally.
“The crown is the TV Happy show with Vučić’s parents, where a man falls into unconsciousness, and Vučić rescues him … And it looks comical to us, but to the electorate is not apparently,” he said.
Cvijetin Milivojević believes that this year’s presidential elections were the most irregular since 1990 onwards. He reminds that the campaign lasted for minimum one month, of which the opposition has lost one-third for the collection of signatures.
“Only in Serbia can happen that the Constitutional Court says something, but one does not take this into account. It is politically unfair to appoint, as the President of the REC, the vice president of the Municipal Board of SNS in Belgrade. Of the 11 candidates, SNS activists have gathered signatures for at least two. Those who hoped to beat Vučić – or are naive or are joking as Preletačević,” said Milivojević.
He says that the election conditions were not normal; and the opposition should have sent a message that would not participate in such elections since it could not fight for the better.
