Serbian Progressive Party
The ruling party. According to Meta, its internet team ran networks of fake accounts, and according to BIRN and Vreme, bots paid out of state salaries. In 2017 the Anti-Corruption Agency reported it to the prosecution on suspicion of money laundering through thousands of identical donations of 40,000 dinars, and donors say officials gave them money to pay in under their own names; the case became time-barred. ODIHR and dozens of testimonies describe pressure on public sector employees to gather „safe“ votes. A court ordered it at first instance to pay damages to the editor of Vranjske, whom it had called a „proven racketeer“.
