should also be noted that most reports were filed due to suspicions of violations of the law observed on social networks. According to the findings of the CRTA observer mission98, the Agency ruled in a number of cases that reports against officials for violations of the Law on the Anti-Corruption Agency were unfounded, but these were not made public since there is no legal obligation to publish them. Aside from this, there were allegations that many examples of abuse of public office for party political purposes and abuse of public resources in this election campaign, both by officials and political entities remained unpunished, due to certain inconsistencies in the Agency's conduct, which can primarily be seen in the uneven enforcement and disputable interpretations of legal provisions in deciding on filed reports. Even in cases where the law has been found to have been violated, the Agency has shown inconsistency when imposing sanctions on different political entities. According to the report, on three occasions where it found that violations of the law, the Agency cited a measure of warning to one political party, while at the same time filed a request for the initiation of misdemeanor proceedings against another party, which is a more severe sanction. In March 2021, the Agency issued a report on the election campaign finance audit, nine months after the elections99. 4.3. The public opinion on administration of justice 4.3.1. Methodological notes A public opinion survey regarding the perception and understanding of the administration of justice process and (in)direct experiences of citizens with the pressures and abuse of suffrage was conducted from 16 to 25 April 2021 in a random nationally representative sample of 1,002 respondents across the territory of Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija). The research tool used was a questionnaire developed in cooperation with the IFES team, consisting of 44 questions. The interviews were conducted by CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) technique, while the selection of respondents in households was done using the method of nearest birthday after the day of the survey. The rule of first birthday excluded the possibility of interviewing only those citizens who answer the pollsters’ calls, thereby ensuring gender, education, and age representativeness of the respondents. 4.3.2.
