The SP includes rehabilitation of a 775-meter-long road from Vartsikhe-Didveli motorway main road to the Vartsikhe Cellar. The road is registered as a municipal property (with the cadastral code: 30.06.33.008) and the road bed does not overlap with the privately-owned agricultural land plots under vineyards and other crops located on the sides of the road, so works will be completed within the ROW. Furthermore, contractor does not need any access to the adjacent lands to complete the civil works. No residential houses are located at the road sides. The road to be rehabilitated is in a very poor condition. The first half section is covered with ground and gravel surface, while another half has no cover and only traces of car tires are visible marks of the road bed. According to the SP design, the road will be covered by asphalt and road signs will be arranged. Along the road, there are two culverts, one of them is in a satisfactory condition and one pipe needs to be repaired. The road will be rehabilitated within the following parameters: the width of the carriageway - 6.0m; the width of the shoulders - 0.5m.

  • INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Presidential Election, Georgia – 4 January 2004 STATEMENT of PRELIMINARY FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS
    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PA THE ORGANIZATION FOR SECURITY AND CO-OPERATION IN EUROPE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Presidential Election, Georgia – 4 January 2004 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Tbilisi, 5 January 2004 - The International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) for the 4 January extraordinary presidential election in Georgia is a joint undertaking of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR), the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), and the European Parliament (EP). This preliminary statement is issued prior to the tabulation and announcement of official election results and before election day complaints and appeals have been addressed. A complete and final analysis of the election process will be offered in the OSCE/ODIHR Final Report. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS The 4 January 2004 extraordinary presidential election in Georgia demonstrated notable progress over previous elections, and brought the country closer to meeting international commitments and standards for democratic elections. The authorities generally displayed the collective political will to conduct democratic elections, especially compared to the 2 November 2003 parliamentary elections that were characterized by systematic and widespread fraud. Nevertheless, due to the short timeframe available for the organization of the election and the lack of a truly competitive political environment, the forthcoming parliamentary elections will be a more genuine indicator of Georgia’s commitment to a democratic election process. The Central Election Commission (CEC) made commendable efforts to administer this election in a credible and professional manner, although the time constraints limited the scope of administrative improvements.
