In each country, the margin of error is calculated at the 95 percent confidence level for the midrange for the full sample size.

• Households were selected using a random route technique with a right-hand rule. • Respondents were selected randomly using the Kish grid method. • Interviews were conducted in Albanian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Montenegrin and Serbian. • The data was weighted to the latest official census statistics for age, gender, educational attainment, urbanicity and region in each country. • Charts and graphs may not add up to exactly 100 percent due to rounding. • Cited bases are weighted. • The poll was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. 2 Countries Polled
