Serbia’s citizens will vote in March or April next year in the ballot at all levels, except the presidential election, President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday, but the opposition warned it would not take part if its demands for free media and fair electoral rules were not met, N1 reported.

Despite his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) request for an early vote, Vucic decided to call it when it was due.

The elections will be held at the republic’s, provincial and local levels.

Dragan Djilas, one of the leaders of the Alliance for Serbia (SzS), said Vucic gave up early vote idea since the opposition clearly said it would boycott it. That, according to Djilas, could lead to the election’s disputable legitimacy.
