MINSK, 13 May (BelTA) – First Deputy Chairman of the CIS Executive Committee Viktor Guminsky delivered a speech at the international conference “Technologies of the electoral process and election monitoring” and informed the attendees about the work of the CIS observation mission amidst the changing technologies of electoral processes in the CIS countries, BelTA learned from the press service of the CIS Executive Committee.
Viktor Guminsky noted that since the Commonwealth of Independent States started sending observation missions 20 years ago (the CIS observers have monitored 110 elections and referendums in all Commonwealth countries over this time), it has amassed a wealth of experience and developed an effective mechanism for international election monitoring.
