ENEMO recognizes elections in Ukraine as transparent and effective

This is stated in a report of the ENEMO International Election Observation Mission of March 31, which was made public at a press conference on April 2, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

According to the document, ENEMO preliminarily estimates that the elections were conducted transparently and effectively, mainly in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and international standards. The statement also says that minor general violations and irregularities on election day did not affect the outcome of the election, although the violation of election campaigning rules limited fair competition among candidates.

The mission stressed that electoral reform is still ongoing and that stakeholders and authorities should pay more attention to respecting the rules for fair campaigning, campaign funding and media regulation.
