Open Society Foundation executive director Milan Antonijevic said June 21, as election day, seems too close, and that the next elections will be the entrance exam to democracy after the state of emergency.

“As long as these parliamentary and local elections are held, they will be the entrance exam to democracy after the state of emergency, of course, all on the condition that we do not return to the bad daily numbers and the return of the pandemic,” he said. Antonijevic to Danas.

Speaking about the elections, he stated that there will be many dilemmas, whatever the day chosen, from security by collecting signatures immediately after such firm steps, to the possibility of freedom of assembly and other rights necessary for democratic and fair elections.

“When we add to that the media situation, the unequal representation of actors on the political scene, on June 21, seems too close,” said Antonijevic.

When asked what he thinks of the beatings in the Sherpas at 8:05 PM, he said, “No matter how you view the beatings in the Sherpas, it is more important how you hear the beatings in the Sherpas.”

“It is much more important how our institutions, how the government sees this broad and spontaneous action throughout Serbia, that accumulated dissatisfaction, which it will not see if it puts on pink glasses,” said Antonijevic.

He also said that the introduction of the state of emergency was not unconstitutional, but in the following days, immediately after March 15, “conditions had to be created for the National Assembly to sit down, not to wait forty days to confirm everything that was have done”. .
