There is doubt that vote buying may have occurred in Serbia’s Zajecar.

People came in and out of the courtyard; I opened the door and saw familiar faces é director of the Pension Security Fund and Invaldor (Fondi PIO) and the deputy mayor. They were terrified. We warned them that they were carrying out a criminal act of buying votes, but they attacked me and tried to get me out, he said.

According to him, police reportedly, which arrived half an hour later, broadcast Telegrafi.

By that moment, they could easily have eliminated all evidence. The police did not react in time; they came in and just told me to go give a statement if I could. When we asked what we should do next, they just picked up their shoulders, he related.

He stressed that citizens are keeping an eye on the location.

The important thing is that it was prevented; they tried to commit a theft. That certainly will not happen here, nor at other polling stations. Citizens are very busy voter turnout has been massive since morning, long lines. The atmosphere is pleasant and positive; I hope there are no more such scenes during the rest of the day.
