long-term observer of the Commonwealth of Independent States Bakhyt Dasanov,
the Deputy Head of the Department of Security Cooperation and Counteraction to
New Threats and Challenges of the CIS who was elected the Chairperson of the
department of the CIS observance mission in the Brest region.

and NGOs (including the opposition) had a large representation in the election
commissions, which witnesses the democratic nature of the electoral process.
Moreover, the observer is glad to have the direct internet access to any
information concerning the election, which, in his opinion, provides the
maximal openness and transparency.
