Belarus parliament elections

MINSK, 12 September (BelTA) – Candidates to Parliament campaigned within the limits of the law, head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly election observation mission Ivana Dobesova said in a press conference on 12 September, BelTA has learned.

“I cannot compare the current campaign with the previous one because this is the first time that I am in Belarus. A number of candidates to Parliament chose not to campaign actively citing the apathy of voters. But others campaigned within the limits of the law and without restrictions,” Ivana Dobesova said.

The head of the OSCE PA mission also noted that all candidates were given a platform to communicate their ideas and messages.
