BELGRADE, December 21. /TASS/. One of the leaders of the pro-Western opposition, Miroslav Aleksic, said during a protest outside the Republican Electoral Commission that he and his supporters will seek to cancel the election results in Serbia.
"Our lawyers, who are in these electoral bodies, especially in the Republican Electoral Commission, will demand the cancellation of elections at all levels, that is, in the entire Republic of Serbia," Aleksic said in front of the protesters.
Earlier on Wednesday, a TASS correspondent reported that supporters of the Serbia Against Violence opposition bloc, who held their first rally near the building of the Republican Electoral Commission in the center of Belgrade on the evening of December 18, began a protest action for the third time. During the action, police officers blocked traffic on the capital's central street, Kralja Milan. The protesters, who were located on the roadway in front of the main entrance to the election commission building, shouted anti-government slogans and used loudspeakers, whistles and pipes.
On December 18, protesters threw eggs, tomatoes, cans of beer, and used firecrackers at the main entrance to the election commission building. In addition, the protesters did not allow the commission members to leave after one of the meetings, also throwing garbage at them. Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that those gathered at the electoral commission building attacked the director of the Statistical Office of the republic, Miladin Kovacevic, and knocked him to the ground. Brnabic pointed out that throughout its entire campaign the opposition not only planned protests, but also prepared a coup in Belgrade.
Following the events in Belgrade, the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed that "Maidan scenarios of pushing through the Western will are being used in the Balkans.".
