Paragraph 12
 

None of the amendments address the above issue. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommend that consideration be given to amending the legal framework to include suffrage rights in local elections for those non-citizens who have had-long term lawful residence on the national territory of the country for a period of five years. It is also recommended that consideration be given to including specific factors or criteria in law that should be evaluated in determining the length of residency.
