Paragraph 7
 

A number of prior OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommendations, relating also to similar provisions in the Electoral Code, remain unaddressed, including in respect of the effectiveness of complaints and appeals procedures, the transparency and accountability of campaign finance, the clarity of the role and oversight of media, andsafeguards against potential abuse of public resources. While the parliamentary parties did not raise main objections, the process of drafting the law so far did not involve inclusive discussions and meaningful engagement with all stakeholders.
