PODGORICA, 22 April 2002 - The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) has deployed an Election Observation Mission to monitor the 15 May municipal elections in the Republic of Montenegro/Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The Election Observation Mission, headed by Nikolai Vulchanov (Bulgaria), includes 18 experts and long-term observers based in Podgorica and the regions throughout Montenegro. It will assess whether the election process is in line with relevant OSCE commitments and Montenegrin legislation. In addition, observers will closely monitor the election campaign and the coverage of the campaign in the media.
Shortly before the election, some 100 additional international observers will be deployed to observe election day procedures, including voting, counting of ballots, hand-over of polling station results, and vote tabulation at all levels.
On 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 ODIHR approximately one month after the completion of the electoral process.
The Election Observation Mission operates separately and independently from the OSCE Office in Montenegro.
