BELGRADE, 23 October 2003 - The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) has established an Election Observation Mission to monitor the presidential elections in the Republic of Serbia/Serbia and Montenegro, scheduled to take place on 16 November.
The Election Observation Mission, headed by Nikolai Vulchanov (Bulgaria), includes 19 international observers based in Belgrade and throughout Serbia.
The Mission will assess the election process against international standards agreed to by all OSCE participating States, as well as against Serbian legislation. Observers will closely monitor the election campaign, including the media, political activities, the administrative preparations for the elections, and the resolution of election disputes.
In addition, the OSCE/ODIHR plans to send 150 short-term observers who will be deployed shortly before election day to monitor voting, counting of ballots and vote tabulation at all levels.
The day after the election, the Election Observation Mission will issue a statement of preliminary findings and conclusions. A comprehensive report will be issued by the OSCE/ODIHR approximately one month after the completion of the electoral process.
The OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission operates separately and independently from the OSCE Mission to Serbia and Montenegro.
