The Center for Democratic Transition (CDT) announced that at the session of the State Election Commission (SEC), no one raised the issue of the dual citizenship of one of the leaders of the Democratic Front, Andrija Mandić, nor the inquiry for the Republic Election Commission (REC) of Serbia.

The Twitter account of the CDT stated that it was ordered to remove formal deficiencies for the confirmation of Mandić's candidacy for the presidential elections.

"The 'control' of citizenship by this institution is, as we have already said, an ordinary political performance," CDT said on Twitter.

They also stated that they expect an immediate response from the Republic Election Commission (REC) of Serbia. SEC President Nikola Mugoša voted against that decision.

According to "Vijesti" information, the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), the Social Democrats (SD) and the Bosniak Party (BS) proposed at the session of the SEC to send a request to the REC, the DF representative supported it, while the Democrats left session. Representatives of the Socialist People's Party (SNP) and the civil sector in the SEC abstained.
