This system of public funds distribution led to large disparities among contestants during the election campaign, in particular, because the majority of opposition parties were not represented in the outgoing parliament and therefore had not been beneficiaries of public funds for regular work. The ODIHR interlocutors shared that the first instalment of public funding was only sufficient for the coverage of the most basic campaign requirements, while the 2022 ODIHR final report highlighted that the available state subsidy of election campaign could not address the fundamental disparity between parliamentary and extra-parliamentary contestants, in particular when compared to the parliamentary majority. This system of public funds distribution, as applied to the Serbian political landscape, does not fully address the requirements of international good practice.
