Ukraine to examine best practices in electoral system reforms of Georgia and Moldova

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy said this during a joint briefing with the Speakers of Georgia and Moldova, answering the journalists' question about adapting the laws of the three countries to the European legislation, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Different directions of reform. For me, as the Verkhovna Rada chairman, it is the concept of the electoral code, which has been lately amended in Georgia and Moldova. In fact, each of the countries has taken its own path. This experience is very important as this issue [new electoral code] will be on the agenda at the beginning of autumn. I will organize a meeting of our working group with Georgian and Moldovan lawmakers so that we could examine their experience. Therefore, it is difficult to name just one direction. We face the same challenges and questions within the framework of the Eastern Partnership program," Parubiy said.
