Welcome to yet another round of endless political games with the Unified Voter List Law! The ninth public hearing was held in the Serbian Parliament, and Speaker Ana Brnabić claims the draft law is a “result of compromise” that guarantees full transparency and citizens’ trust. But is that really the case? The draft law, submitted by MP Uglješa Mrdić, is almost identical to the 2022 draft, with only one difference — the composition of the commission. So much for “new changes” and “transparency”!
Why all the fuss about this law? Because the unified voter list is the heart of any democratic process. If the list is inaccurate or opaque, the entire election campaign falls apart. And we all know how controversial and suspicious Serbian elections have been.
Brnabić called on all stakeholders to participate in adopting the law so that the next elections can be held with a revised voter list. But is this just another political show? The draft law is practically the same as 18 months ago, casting doubt on the sincerity of the whole story.
This isn’t just bureaucratic formalities — it’s about citizens’ trust in the electoral process. If not fixed now, expect even more confusion and suspicion in the next elections.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Is this law really a step toward transparency or just another farce in an endless political soap opera? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, or just crack a good political joke — honestly, we all need it!
