Paragraph 8
 

In the present case, the composition of the State Election Commission has not been criticised by the Venice Commission or other international organisations. The former regulation of the Electoral Code was generally in conformity with the principles of impartiality and efficiency. The changes made, however, do not appear to take into consideration those recommendations made by the Joint Opinion on the Electoral Code of “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” relating to the SEC.[6] They seem more or less to be minor changes leading neither to better nor worse implementation of the principles governing the organisational mechanisms of the elections.
