I support this report. Although some fundamental issues are still being tackled, the October elections constituted an important step towards the consolidation of democratic elections, in line with the recommendations of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe. Georgia’s President Saakashvili accepted defeat in the parliamentary elections and declared himself an opposition politician. The statements made by the party leaders were quite positive in their commitment to work together to build the country. These elections were competitive, with active public participation, including strong participation by women, throughout the campaign. The freedoms of association, assembly and expression were respected and the media operated freely. The electoral administration was highly reliable and managed to prepare for the elections in a very professional way. The Central Electoral Commission acted in an efficient and transparent manner and promoted various welcome initiatives to promote the participation of national minorities in these elections. The active participation of a large number of national observers and civil society throughout the electoral process also strengthened its general transparency."@en1
