The election headquarters of Miodrag Lekić submitted a large number of objections to the municipal election commissions (MEC) on the work of the polling boards related to significant violations of the right to vote, violations of the election procedure, determination of voting results, inaccurate data on the number of voters and the number of ballots used, and voting by letters.
The head of Lekić's staff, Goran Danilović, said that in communication with the municipal staffs, they decided not to ask for a repeat of the election at polling stations where there are drastic violations of voting rights, but to request that those stations be exempted from the overall voting procedure.
"In the course of ten years of dealing with politics, I did not believe that we would come across such a drastic example of arrogant attitude"
Danilović said that in three days they managed to control more than 150 out of a total of 1.169 polling stations and that according to the law they have the right to continue examining the election materials until tomorrow.
Speaking about specific irregularities, Danilović cited the example of a polling station in Savina Bor (Berane), where 155 voters voted, and 170 ballots were found in the box. In the same place, six slips with a control coupon were inserted into the box, while six requests for voting by letter were unsigned.
He also cited the example of polling station number 44 - Radmanci (Berane), where 133 voters voted, and there were 138 ballots in the box.

"It often happens that both candidates are circled with different pencils, so it is easy to conclude that this is done afterwards to make the ballot invalid," claims Danilović.
Danilović also claims that at the polling station Buča (Berane) there is not a single request for voting by letter in the documentation from the polling station, and according to the minutes, 31 people voted that way, most of them were born between 1960 and 1980.
"If someone hasn't caught you stealing, that doesn't mean it's okay to steal," said Danilović
He said that at the polling station Buča (Berane) there is no request for voting by letter in the documentation, and according to the minutes, 31 people voted that way.
The head of Lekić's staff said that in some polling stations, such as in Bijelo Polje, their representatives were not immediately allowed to enter and investigate.
He noted that the situation on the ground is much worse than DF estimated on election night, stating that "they chased the rabbit, we chased the wolf":
"Every moment of inattention was used. During ten years of dealing with politics, I did not believe that we would come across such a drastic example of an arrogant attitude".
Tvrde did not sign all the records
Danilović claims that it is a lie that they signed all the minutes, citing the example of Cetinje where they had authorized representatives, but did not sign 21 out of 39 minutes.
"The law provided that precisely because there may be an omission at the polling station, we have the right to see how it was done with subsequent inspection. If someone did not catch you stealing, that does not mean that it is okay to steal," he said.
Seven opposition parties in Bijelo Polje have decided not to participate in the work of the local parliament until the final results of the presidential elections are determined.
The president of Lekić's headquarters in Kotor, Vladimir Potpara, said that the complaints mainly refer to requests for voting by letter, which, he said, are not valid in 90 percent of cases due to the lack of an ID card number.
"We sent a complaint to polling station number 16 - Muo, where we found that 21 requests for voting by letter did not contain an identity card number or a birth certificate number. It is obvious that 21 requests were signed by one person, as can be seen from the handwriting," he said. is Potpara.

"In the end, this did not result in the votes going in favor of Vujanović because the electoral committee declared these ballots invalid.
