Paragraph 75
 

The sanctions catalogue in Articles 72 and 73 concentrates on sanctions against the organisers of the referendum campaign and donors. Breaches of the duty of neutrality and of voters’ freedom to form an opinion by other parties, as well as electoral fraud are not sanctioned by the draft law. According to the information provided by the Serbian authorities, these sanctions are complementary to those of the criminal code, which deals in general with the violation of electoral rights.
