“The danger of fraud is high, and this seriously questions public confidence in the election process”, he wrote, among other things.
He says it is understandable that the CEC “chose such a dangerous road transport, when safer and faster solutions, such as air travel, were largely feasible”.

Ladies, sir.
I want to express my deepest disappointment with the unacceptable organisation of voter transport by Cyril. As AAK's organising secretary for diaspora, I am deeply concerned about the way this operation is conducted and the serious risks it poses for the integrity of the results.
On today's morning, on the date 03.01,2025, we received the papers from the post and then took them to the consulate in Zurich. All commissioners of each party were present during this act to ensure transparency of the process.
However, we were informed that 15483 votes would be transported in a bus, with Albanian diplomatic license plates, CD-55 27A, accompanied by a driver and his deputy, on a several-day trip through Stuttgart, Viene, Zagreb, Lubjani and Pristina. This poses a major problem not only for the physical security of the vote, but also for transparency of the election process.
It is totally unacceptable that these votes are being transported so dangerously over a period of at least three days. How can we make sure that these votes, stored in a transit vehicle, are not manipulated or altered during this long journey? The danger of fraud is high, and this seriously questions public confidence in the election process.
It is understandable that the CEC chose such a dangerous road transport when safer and faster solutions, such as air transport, were largely feasible. Air transport would not only have provided faster distribution but also better voter security, significantly reducing manipulation opportunities.
I believe that the CEC has failed in its mission to ensure the integrity of the election process by setting such a flawed organisation in operation. Voting security must be the top priority and it is necessary to take more rigorous measures in the future to prevent the situation from repeating.
I ask the CEC to take the necessary measures immediately to improve the organisation of this kind of transport and ensure the security of elections. The lack of severity observed here is not acceptable, and I hope concrete action will be taken to restore citizens' confidence in the electoral system.
