The President of the Serbian Parliament, Ana Brnabić, has criticized the composition of the European Parliament delegation observing early parliamentary elections in Serbia, particularly the appointment of Austrian Andreas Schieder as head of the delegation. Brnabić accused Schieder of political bias, citing his past criticisms of Serbian President Aleksander Vučić and alleged violations of observer conduct codes during previous elections. She argued that some members of the delegation have expressed negative views toward Serbian authorities and supported candidates in the election. In response, Schieder condemned Brnabić's protest as an attack on the European Parliament's mission, while another delegate emphasized the importance of focusing on whether the elections are free and fair. The delegation was named late, after the official deadline for invitations had passed.
