Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Government Goran Rakić welcomed Norway’s Special Representative for the Western Balkans Arne Sannes Bjørnstad, accompanied by Norwegian Ambassador Jens Erik Grøndahl, with whom they discussed the upcoming elections.
Minister Rakić emphasized that it is very important for everyone in the campaign to refrain from provocative rhetoric, which, as we have seen in the past, increases the number of incidents that mainly concern the Serb population and property.
The interlocutors agreed that the most important thing is that the campaign itself, as well as Election Day, be conducted in a democratic atmosphere, respecting the recommended measures set for preventing the spread of the pandemic.
