Higher Court in Belgrade upholds decision by city electoral commission

BELGRADE - The Higher Court in Belgrade has rejected another complaint filed by the opposition Serbia Against Violence coalition, upholding a decision by the City of Belgrade electoral commission whereby it declared itself not competent to decide on annulment and a repeat of parliamentary elections, the city electoral commission said.

Its President Zoran Lukic said that, in response to a complaint in which the coalition had requested an annulment of parliamentary elections at all polling stations, the commission had declared itself materially not competent, referring the complaint to the national electoral commission.

A complaint was then filed against this decision but was rejected by the Higher Court in Belgrade as groundless.
