If there would be elections in Serbia, campaign to start after Statehood Day? (Prva TV)
If Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic decides that extraordinary elections would be held on 31 March, they would be called for on 30 January, latest by 14 February, one day prior to Serbia’s Statehood Day, Prva TV reports this morning.
However, if a decision is to have an election by mid-April, then they should be called for from 13th to 18th February. If elections are to take place, campaign according to this calculation, should start after Statehood Day (15 February), Prva TV continues, referring to the Serbian media reports.
It recalled, that President Vucic earlier stated majority in his party supports extraordinary elections, however decision would be made based on the state interests. He linked then possible extraordinary elections with Pristina’s decision to introduce 100 percent taxes on the goods from central Serbia.
According to Prva TV, analysts believe if Pristina revokes the decision on taxes and returns to the negotiation table, extraordinary election in Serbia will probably not take place.
