Serbia suspended all preparations for parliamentary elections scheduled for April 26 after imposing a state of emergency that effectively bans public activity in order to contain the coronavirus outbreak, the country’s electoral commission said.
Preparations for the ballot will resume after the state of emergency is lifted, the commission said. Serbia closed its borders to all foreigners but Chinese, shut schools and limited the hours of cafes and restaurants. The government may impose a curfew if citizens don’t abide by an order to stay home.
The state of emergency may last 90 days and can be extended to a maximum 180 days.
