Это были самые открытее и прозрачные выборы, которые я вообще где-либо видел.
Впечатления у меня очень хорошие. Мы посетили 8 избирательных участков. Техническое оборудование участков лучше, чем в Восточной Европе. По крайней мере, лучше, чем в Словакии, Чехии, Венгрии, может быть, даже в Австрии. Бюллетени бросали в электронные урны, на каждом участке были камеры, которые снимали всё, что там происходило, чтобы ЦИК могла контролировать порядок голосования на любом участке.

The elections took place in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. The controversies surrounding these elections concern international interests and the interference of foreign countries and funding from dubious origin.
