As it was mentioned, the bill on amendments to several legislative acts re improvement of electoral legislation (Reg.

It was stressed that carrying out recommendations determined by the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission on Final Report regarding parliamentary elections in Ukraine and overcoming drawbacks in holding parliamentary elections in Ukraine on October 28, 2012 is one of the EU Party’s requirements for signing the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
