Respondents were asked: “Are you going to take part in the upcoming election?” Some 85.5% of the respondents answered in the positive, 4.8% answered in the negative and 9.7% were undecided.
“People are going to cast their ballot in the election and make their well-informed political, strategic choice. The research has shown the stability of the socio-political situation and the cohesion of society,” Irina Lashuk noted.
In December 2024, a cross-country opinion poll was conducted by Belarus and Serbia. In Serbia, the survey was done by the Institute of International Politics and Economics and the independent research center House off Win. In Belarus, the survey was carried out by the Center for Social and Humanitarian Studies of Belarusian State Economic University. The survey in Belarus was conducted by door-to-door interviews (1,500 respondents). The main goal was to build a better understanding of mutual perception of Belarusians and Serbs, to identify the most promising areas of cooperation and friendship. Taking into account that this survey coincided with the election campaign in Belarus, a separate block of questions in the Belarusian part of the study concerned the respondents' assessment of the socio-political situation and priority electoral attitudes.
