Paragraph 55
 

In summary, an important step towards respecting the principle of transparency is the participation of national and international observers in the entire process of elections, which should be given by the Electoral Code the widest possible opportunity to participate in an election observation exercise. Observers enhance transparency in the electoral process and should provide an impartial assessment, vis-à-vis OSCE Commitments and Council of Europe’s standards, of the proceedings to the government, citizens and international community.
