EU says Serbian voters gave next government "a strong mandate for change"

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Commissioner Marta Kos said Serbians "turned out in historic numbers" on 25 October and that "Voters have given the next government a strong mandate for change." Citing international observers, they said misuse of state resources, media bias and pressure on voters and candidates "marred the electoral environment", and called for the government to be formed without delay.
