BELGRADE, Oct 15 (Hina) - Vojislav Kostunica's Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) believes that the second round of the presidential election has succeeded. The party said it would submitt evidence to Serbia's electoral commission on
Tuesday, which show that more than 50 percent of the eligible voters came to the polls, which is the legal condition for successful elections, and not 45.5 percent as shown in the official results.

A member of the DSS presidency, Nebojsa Bakarec, said that in the
Belgrade region 124,000 non-existing voters had been registered in
the voters' lists. According to him, there are more than 630,000
"phantom" voters in Serbia. The party says this can be very easily
established, namely by comparing the results of the census to the
voters' lists.
Serbian Minister for the State Administration Rodoljub Sabic,
however, believes that voters' lists are not ideal, but that DSS
officials are exaggerating. "Some information can slip. We do not
have the right to claim that the voters' list is ideal, however, the
number of 500,000 seems to be exaggerated, because all lists were
checked twice," Sabic told Radio B92.
