CeSID said the reported irregularities included violations of ballot secrecy, voters photographing ballots, group and family voting, and problems with voter lists.
Observers also reported disputes among election board members, interruptions in voting, issues with election materials and suspected parallel voter tracking.
CeSID expressed particular concern over restricted access for election observers at some polling stations.
Crta reported that four percent of polling stations experienced improper preparations, leading to disputes and delays. Some of its observers were initially denied access, but the issues were resolved following intervention by the Republic Electoral Commission.
The Students' List also reported inadequate voting screens and problems with easily removable voter-marking ink, saying its representatives secured replacements.
Serbia is holding snap parliamentary elections, with 6,451,292 eligible voters and 8,392 polling stations, including 93 abroad.
CeSID is monitoring 750 polling stations, while Crta has deployed more than 2,000 observers across a representative sample of 500 polling stations.
