AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoElection Watch: Serbia’s 25 October snap vote is under scrutiny: CRTA recorded 203 cases of negative campaigning, obstruction and violence across 45 municipalities, and nearly 1,500 reports in pro-government media warning of election-day chaos. Overseas Voting: Electoral commission member Marko Živanović says the 93 planned polling stations could make it harder for diaspora voters to cast ballots; the ministry has yet to provide full registration data. Retired diplomats have also criticised reduced polling access and overnight voting, while the European Parliament has not received an invitation to observe. EXPO 2027: The project is a campaign flashpoint. Opposition figures pledge to halt it and investigate contracts they allege are corrupt; SNS says cancellation would undermine investment and development. Public Finances: Unofficial figures cited by Radar put September’s budget deficit at about €903 million and the deficit for the first nine months at €1.74 billion. The Finance Ministry’s published figures so far cover August. Kosovo: Justina Shiroka-Pula’s election as president after a last-minute deal has averted another snap election, though a proposed law limiting the Hague war crimes court’s powers remains contentious. Regional Politics: Reports that Trump-linked advisers consulted Republika Srpska’s Milorad Dodik before Bosnia’s election have prompted scrutiny within the US Republican Party.
