Welcome to Kosjerić, where elections don’t end in one day and tensions are sky-high! At polling station number 25, they’re holding repeat voting today because one voter managed to cast a ballot even though their name wasn’t on the voter list. Yes, you read that right — one single vote sparked a political earthquake!
Turnout is impressive — by 2 PM, 59% of registered voters had cast their ballots, showing just how much this local showdown matters to the people. But it’s not just about numbers — the current mayor, Žarko Đokić, claims he was attacked this morning around 6 AM while sitting in his car. How? Two men, Vladan Todorović and Radoš Paunović, opened his car doors and started threatening him, including threats against his family! Police had to step in to let Đokić continue on his way.
Why all the drama? The June 8 elections were razor-close — the ruling SNS-SPS coalition won by just 51 votes over the opposition list “United Kosjerić.” Now, at this one polling station where voting is being repeated, the opposition must win more votes to flip the result and take power.
Preliminary results show Aleksandar Vučić’s “We Won’t Give Up Serbia” list with 49.23% of votes and 14 seats, while “United Kosjerić” holds 48.54% and 13 seats. A third list, the Russian Party of Serbia BRICS, snagged only 0.64%. The municipal assembly has 27 seats total, so every vote counts.
With tensions running high, most bars and restaurants in Kosjerić are closed today, and the atmosphere is electric. Will one vote change everything? Will threats and attacks sway the outcome? One thing’s for sure — in Kosjerić, they’re not just voting for councilors, but for the future of the town.
