Head of REC: Protest turned into violence; They deliberately interfere with our work

REC President Vladimir Dimitrijevi said that today at 7 p.m., Marinika Tepi and Miroslav Aleksi came to the building with a request to talk.
"On that occasion, they handed me a request to hold new elections for the Belgrade City Assembly. They accused the REC of election fraud, claiming that we represent the interests of Aleksandar Vui," said Dimitrijevi.
As Dimitrijevi says, they pointed to alleged irregularities during the elections in Belgrade.
"In response to the accusations, I said that it is inappropriate to claim that one body works for any election participant, since we have both government representatives and opposition representatives in our composition," he said.
The President of the REC says that this is an example of unacceptable and inappropriate pressure.
"Which consciously or out of ignorance ignores the fact that the RIK is not the body for conducting city elections, but it is the CEC. We are not a second-level body, as they claim, in relation to the CEC. This is in accordance with the law of the High Court in Belgrade," Dimitrijevic said.
He adds that REC can neither call nor organize new elections.
"Gathering in front of the REC is deliberately hindering our work. I also inform the public that the protests in front of the REC turned into violence that has not been recorded so far when it comes to the work of the REC," said the President of the REC.
He says that dissatisfaction with the work of the REC has never led to such scenes, and that he is particularly shocked by the scenes in front of the building.
"All the aggressive rhetoric of the past few days obviously had to culminate in this kind of violence.
Tonight, the director of RBS Miladin Kovaevi was also attacked," he said.
