Kostunica party claims election success | 21:33 | Beta

BELGRADE -- Monday – A senior official of the Democratic party of Serbia claimed tonight that the party did not accept the failure of the second round of the Serbian presidential elections.

Nebojsa Bakarec claimed that the party, which is led by presidential front runner Vojislav Kostunica, had evidence that the voter turnout had been over the critical fifty per cent mark.

Bakarec made his sensational announcement at today’s meeting of the Serbian Election Commission, saying that if the commission’s final result was that the election had failed, his party would lodge an appeal.

“We will submit an objection because we are in possession of proof that the presidential elections were successful,” he told the commission.

In a statement released after the meeting, the party claimed that, based on data obtained from the City of Belgrade, there were more than 124,000 names of non-existent voters on electoral rolls for Belgrade alone.

“The most drastic example is the Belgrade district of Vracar, which has 4,300 more voters than residents which, when minors are taken into account, means 12,900 false voter registrations,” claimed the party.

When this figure is statistically extrapolated, claimed the Democratic Party of Serbia, it can be presumed that the total number of illegitimately registered voters in Serbia is more than 630,000.

The stripping of these names from the rolls would mean that more than fifty per cent of valid registered voters had voted in yesterday’s second round, and this would validate the election, securing victory for the party’s leader, Vojislav Kostunica.
