CRTA ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION 2025
Citizens protect the vote - support observers in Kosjerić and Zaječar!
The country is in such a deep crisis and at such a critical turning point that the local elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić on June 8 won’t be “just local” elections. For the first time since “all of this began,” people will be heading to the polls. Since the Novi Sad canopy's collapse shook Serbia out of its apathy, citizens have been filling the streets for over six months.
Experience has taught us: the higher the stakes and the more uncertain the outcome, the more serious electoral manipulation and abuse can be expected. Just think back to December 17, 2023, in Belgrade - and you’ll know why, on June 8, 2025, we must be present at every polling station in Zaječar and Kosjerić, with the help of additional mobile teams.
The CRTA observation mission is a community united by shared values. Like you, we believe in elections where every citizen can vote freely – without pressure or intimidation.
We’ve observed many elections in less difficult circumstances, with more avilable resources. Now, we need your support. Every contribution counts.
People from all over Serbia are joining us to observe the elections in Kosjerić and Zaječar.
Two missions will monitor events from morning until night at each of the 29 polling stations in Kosjerić and 69 in Zaječar – with two observers inside and two outside each polling station. Specialized mobile teams will also be on the ground. All observers will be in constant contact with our legal team.
Organizing election observation in accordance with international standards is a major operation that requires many participants with a wide range of specific skills – electoral and legal experts, statisticians, observers, call center operators...
The total cost of these two missions is around 5 million dinars.
We need your help to raise the remaining 2.1 million dinars, which will go toward:
- Travel expenses for observers coming from different parts of Serbia,
- Lunch packages for observers,
- Accommodation for observers traveling from across the country,
- Printing of materials,
- Communication costs (mobile phones, call center…).
Donations can be made directly through your bank's mobile app by scanning the following NBS IPS QR code.
You can also support us in other ways
By donating services like catering (lunch packages), transportation, or printing.
