Stefanovic informed the representatives of the European Parliament about the proposal to reduce the electoral threshold, which is currently being discussed by the deputies of the National Assembly, pointing out that this increases the degree of democracy, as well as the representativeness of the will of citizens in the republic and local parliaments.
If this proposal is adopted, the electoral rolls will be easier to cross the threshold and get the seats. This does not go in favour of the Serbian Progressive Party, which will receive fewer seats in parliament or local assemblies with the same number of votes, he explained.
Stefanovic, who is also chairman of the OSCE and ODIHR Working Group on Cooperation, reminded that three new members of the Council of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media have been elected and two more will be elected soon.
Today, the deadline for nominating candidates for two missing members expires. The elected members of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media so far are non-party figures, who are known as serious professionals in their fields, and this will be the case with the choice of the remaining ones, said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Speaking about measures taken so far to improve the electoral process, he also recalled that a monitoring committee has been set up in the National Assembly to monitor the actions of political parties, candidates and the media during electoral activities, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Interior.
