General Information

Ukrainian authorities on all levels have evinced a determination to conduct fair and transparent elections. The international community has determined to assist Ukrainian authorities in this process. In addition, numerous NGOs will be involved in the process. In partnership with the authorities, the OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine will assist in coordinating the activities of the international community and NGOs with efforts of Ukrainian authorities. It will engage the services of international experts in coordination with ODIHR and the Office of the Representative of the Freedom of the Media, as well as local experts. The purpose is to coordinate activities in all areas concerning the upcoming elections. Such activities may include: the coordination of media related activities, training of election officials, dissemination of election material to voters as well as election officials. The OSCE Project Coordinator has formed a high level working group, which includes Ukrainian authorities, partisan individuals, representatives from the international community, and other actors involved in election related activities. This group works as a clearinghouse to discuss election related matters with concerned parties on a level where the results of the meetings would have a chance to influence the process. The office will be concerned with the election process solely, and it will not engage in any activities, which might influence the outcome.
