Brnabic calls local elections in 66 self-government units for June 2

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic on Friday called local elections in 66 local self-government units in Serbia for June 2.

Following amendments to the Law on Local Elections, the polls will be held on the same day as local elections in Belgrade.

"As a result of successful dialogue of parliamentary parties, the conditions are in place to call elections in 66 local self-government units. The elections in those local self-government units will be held on the same day as the elections for the members of the Belgrade City Assembly - on June 2," Brnabic said after calling the elections.

She again urged all political stakeholders to keep in mind that politics should not be an instrument of divisions between people and that there was a shared commitment to develop the political system in a democratic direction promoting dialogue, mutual respect and greater understanding.

"As speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, I will keep insisting that this highest representative body of all citizens of the Republic of Serbia respects and promotes such values," Brnabic said.
