CEDEM director, Ms Milena Bešić, explained at the press conference that results of this research “do not represent the forecasts for the elections, but rather citizens’ view”.
Program manager of CEDEM, Mr Marko Pejović, pointed out that citizens’ trust in political institutions was declining.
According to the results of the research, great number of citizens are not satisfied with the Government of Mr Duško Marković.
The research was conducted between 5 and 12 August 2020 and it encompassed 1037 citizens.
The methodology used in the research was standard – face to face survey.
During the survey, all recommendations of NCB have been implemented. For the households that have been tested, polls were delivered in front of their doors.
“When the respondent is not willing to answer, software automatically chooses another person that fits the category by age, sex, polling station etc. We are not interests in how many people refused to answer the questions”, CEDEM representatives explained.
