Opinion poll

"Election silence" in force ahead of voting on Sunday

BELGRADE -- Participants in the March 16 early parliamentary elections and local elections in Belgrade and several other towns have wrapped up their campaigns.

They are now prohibited from campaigning and this ban will be in place until the polling stations close at 20:00 CET on Sunday.

A ban on the publication of opinion polls 15 days before elections is due to be lifted, according to Interior Minister Yiannis Michelakis.

Speaking on local radio on Tuesday, Michelakis said the ministry was scheduled to present legislation to Parliament in the upcoming days.
