Serbia’s opposition Democratic Party (DS), says opposition parties are facing harassment and persecution ahead of the regional elections in Vojvodina. The elections are loosely scheduled for April or May 2016. Already in December 2015, the Serbian government organised a major anti-corruption action. Almost eighty persons were arrested during this swoop, amongst whom were several members of the DS. According to the party spokesperson and MP, Aleksandra Jerkov, the purpose of the operation was to “…discredit the DS.”
