  • English and Serbian, the English Version Remains the Only Official One
    INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Republic of Serbia (Serbia and Montenegro) Presidential Election Second Round, 27 June 2004 Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions Belgrade, 28 June 2004 – The OSCE’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe deployed an International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) in response to invitations from the authorities of the Republic of Serbia (Serbia and Montenegro). The IEOM observed the electoral process to assess its compliance with domestic legislation, the 1990 OSCE Copenhagen Document and other universal principles for democratic elections. This statement is issued before the official announcement of results, before election day complaints and appeals have been addressed, and before a complete analysis of election day findings. This statement should be read in conjunction with the Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions issued on 14 June 2004, following the first round of the presidential election. The IEOM wishes to express its appreciation to the authorities of the Republic of Serbia and of Serbia and Montenegro for their co-operation throughout the mission. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS The second round of the presidential election in the Republic of Serbia (Serbia and Montenegro) held on 27 June was conducted essentially in line with OSCE commitments and Council of Europe standards for democratic elections. It followed the first round held on 13 June in which none of the 15 candidates received the necessary majority of votes cast. The two candidates contesting the second round were Tomislav Nikolic of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) and Boris Tadic of the Democratic Party (DS).

  • MOLDOVA (25 May and 8 June 2003)
    CG/BUR (10) 19 Report on the local elections observation mission to MOLDOVA (25 May and 8 June 2003) Document adopted by the Bureau of the Congress on 4 July 2003 A – SUMMARY OF THE REPORT 1 – THE CONTEXT In response to an invitation from the Moldovan Government, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe sent a delegation of 12 observers headed by Mr Yavuz Mildon, Vice-President of the Congress (Turkey), to observe the local elections held on 25 May and 8 June 2003. Moldova has been a member of the Council of Europe since 1995, ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 1997 and at present holds the Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. With respect to local autonomy, following recommendations made by the Congress, the Republic of Moldova amended its legislation on territorial organisation and local public administration in March 2003. However, the new territorial organisation marks a return to the system as it was prior to 1998. The elections coincided with the implementation of this reform. The local elections enabled citizens to directly elect 898 Mayors and 11,935 councillors in first- and second-tier local authorities (districts and “rayons”). 2 – THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN The election campaign was marked by great tension and serious breaches of democratic rules and standards. The following were noted: · a great many instances of intimidation of opposition candidates and opposition political party activists · the imprisonment of or attempts to arrest mayoral candidates · an inequitable campaign on television and radio and in the state-owned media · pressure on journalists · intervention of the state apparatus in the campaign and the use of public resources for the benefit of candidates of the majority in power.

  • Local and Regional Democracy in Serbia
    The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities 21st SESSION CG(21)4 18 October 2011 Local and regional democracy in Serbia Monitoring Committee Rapporteur: Odd Arild KVALÖY, Norway (R, NR1) Draft recommendation (for vote)………………………………………………………………………………2 Explanatory memorandum……..……………………………………………………………………………...6 Summary The report concerns the first monitoring visit to Serbia since it joined the Council of Europe on 3 April 2003 and ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 2007. The Rapporteurs express satisfaction that the guiding principles of local self-government are secured in Serbian legislation. The report notes that there is widespread acknowledgment of the need for reforming local self-government and moving towards regional autonomy and welcomes the legislation granting special status to the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. It also takes note of the developments concerning citizens’ participation in the decision-making process and the protection of human rights since the adoption of the present Constitution in 2006. It points to some areas of concern, such as the burden of the financial crisis on municipalities, the lack of intermunicipal cooperation for pooling scarce resources and the insufficient consultation of local authorities by central government. The Congress recommends that the Serbian Government find a legislative solution to the issue of restitution of public property to local authorities and to improve intermunicipal cooperation as well as consultation between central and local government. It draws attention to the need to continue the implementation of the status of autonomy for the province of Vojvodina, and recommends that Serbia lift its reservations on Articles 4 para. 3 and 8 para. 3 of the European Charter of Local Self- Government dealing with the principle of subsidiarity.

However, reported Azerbaijan irregularites show that a further consolidation of the democratic processes is necessary.” Belgium Günther Krug (Germany), Vice-President of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities Bosnia and of the Council of Europe and Head of the Congress’ observer delegation, said in a Herzegovina statement following the elections on 3 November. Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus The delegation appreciated the fact that polling day was orderly and conducted in a positive Czech Republic atmosphere. At the same time, the Congress delegation concluded that certain election Denmark procedures will need reassessment. There were reports of inadequacies regarding the Estonia voter lists, and the vote count and transmission of results often proved difficult. This issue Finland needs to be assessed in greater detail when more complete information is available. France Georgia The ballot papers for the majority and proportional elections were very similar and in future Germany could be distinguished by different colours. Other matters to be considered are that Greece surveillance cameras were installed in some polling stations but not in others and that the Hungary Iceland ink marking of voters did not function well enough.
