[EVENT] Republic Electoral Commission members replaced

The 16 members of the Republic Electoral Commission and their chairperson are appointed by the National Assembly every four years. This year, the National Assembly has voted to replace the entire commission. Traditionally, commissioners are proposed by the different parliamentary groups, but the list of new commissioners was a mix of recommendations from the Serbian Radical Party and their ally the Democratic Party of Serbia. Input from opposition groups was ignored.

Many fear that the Serbian Radical Party is leading the country back to authoritarianism. These commissioners will oversee the reelection of President Šešelj and the SRS-DSS government, as well as potential referendums on the CSTO and EAEU.
