DPS Šavnik: Adžić to investigate any suspicion of pre-election abuses

The Municipal Committee of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in Šavnik called on the Minister of Internal Affairs, Filipa Adžić, to investigate any possible suspicion that pre-election abuses are being committed in the Municipality of Šavnik.

Adžić said yesterday that controls on changes of residence have been strengthened in municipalities where local elections are held.

He said that a drastic increase is observed especially in the municipality of Šavnik, which points to the existence of suspicions that election abuses are being committed.

"Given that the Minister of the Interior, Filip Adžić, stated that in the municipality of Šavnik, there is a drastic increase in reports of changes of residence, which, as he said, points to the existence of suspicions of "pre-election abuses", we invite him to act in accordance with according to the prescribed competences of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, of which he is the head," states the announcement of DPS Šavnik.

They added that as the party that exercises power in Šavnik, they want to express their gratitude to the minister for pointing out this case, but also to remind him that he is at the head of a state body that has the authority to determine all the facts related to an action, including to disable it if it is against the law.

"We expect the minister in the technical mandate, Adžić, to inform the public about the final result of the actions of the competent authorities. Otherwise, everything he presented will be considered only as pre-election marketing of the outgoing minister and unnecessary harassment of citizens," concludes the announcement of DPS Šavnik.
