Ilic-Prelic said in a statement to the news agency Tanjug, that 31,390 voters of the total voters registered abroad will be able to vote, those who are living in countries where there are more than 100 registered voters, which is the condition for opening a polling station abroad.
According to Ilic-Prelic, the increase in the number of voters abroad also led to an increase in the number of countries and polling stations where voting will be held for the parliamentary elections in Serbia on January 21.
She added that voting will be organised in 35 countries in a total of 57 polling stations, which is 12 countries and 17 polling stations more than in the October 2006 referendum.
Ilic-Prelic said that for the first time voting will be organised in six polling stations in Montenegro, and 2,500 Serbian citizens temporarily resident in that country, will be able to cast their votes.
Similarly, for the first time polling stations have also been opened in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and other countries in the region, said Ilic-Prelic.
