US Congressman Joe Wilson has accused the regime of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic of trying to prevent the Serbian diaspora from voting in the upcoming elections.
Wilson compared this approach to what, according to him, the ruling Georgian Dream party did during the elections in Georgia.
"The Vucic regime is trying to prevent the Serbian diaspora from voting. This is exactly what Georgian Dream did to manipulate the elections in Georgia," Wilson wrote.
He has called for all Serbian citizens to have the opportunity to vote, describing this as a fundamental principle of democratic elections.
"All Serbian citizens should be allowed to vote! This is the very essence of free and fair elections," the American congressman emphasized.
Wilson has become one of the harshest voices in the US Congress against Vučić's government and the electoral conditions in Serbia.
In recent days, he has repeatedly warned of possible attempts to manipulate the elections and has called for the process to be free and fair.
Russia in Serbia's election battle
As Aleksandar Vučić faces one of the biggest political challenges in recent years, concerns about Russian influence in Serbian elections are growing.
US Congressman Joe Wilson has warned that there are "strong indications" that Russia and the security apparatus under Vucic's control are using ways to influence the electoral process. Wilson has raised concerns about propaganda, voter lists and the use of state resources.
Moscow, meanwhile, is openly following the process. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has stated that Russia is closely monitoring preparations for the elections and has praised Vučić's role in Russian-Serbian relations.
Russian influence is also evident in the information space. Sputnik and RT, along with pro-Kremlin media outlets and websites, have promoted narratives that portray the opposition and protests against Vučić as part of a Western-sponsored “color revolution.” The European Parliament has also condemned Russian disinformation regarding the protests in Serbia.
Another case is the pro-Russian politician Branimir Nestorović, who said that during a visit to Moscow he had received support for how he would run in the elections. His claims have not been confirmed by the Russian side.
Against this backdrop comes Wilson's latest statement on the Serbian diaspora's vote. He accused the Vučić regime of trying to obstruct its vote, comparing this to the interventions that, according to him, took place in Georgia.
