OSCE MISSION CONCLUSION ON THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA
The 28 March parliamentary elections in Georgia demonstrated commendable
progress in relation to previous elections, concludes the International
Election Observation Mission in a statement of preliminary findings and
conclusions issued today.
The Georgian authorities have seized the opportunity in the last few months
to bring Georgia's election process into closer alignment with European
standards for democratic elections, the Mission has found. However,
continued intimidation and physical abuse against opposition supporters and
journalists in Ajara, cast a shadow over the overall progress in the
election process, its statement adds.
It also makes clear that Georgia's election process will only be fully
tested in a more competitive environment, once a genuine level of political
pluralism is re-established.
