Incident in Doboj: Clash between observers and Sanja Vulić
One of the biggest incidents happened in Doboj. Immediately after the incident in which SNSD vice-president Sanja Vulić took part, she said that she reacted to the disturbing and unprofessional behavior of the observers. Vulić asserted that he did not have the right to see her personal document, and that he did not have the right to follow the vote from close range. On the other hand, observer Stamenko Popović, who had to give a statement to the police, said the following:
“When I came in front of the polling station, a lady came out, honestly, let her be as angry as she wants, I didn’t recognize her, that it was Sanja Vulić. Of course, I had my phone in my hand because I was still getting text messages and he wrote that she demonstratively left the polling station. And, at that moment, someone came behind her and said: “Sir, don’t record”. I say to him: “What am I filming?” The militia was also an obvious witness to everything. I showed the phone and said: “Here, please see what the last recording is. Is it a recording or a photo”. The police took it”.
