Russia 'curbing poll observers'

[dipsydoodle]

Russia is seeking "unprecedented" curbs on monitors observing its parliamentary polls, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) says.
It wants limits on the size of the OSCE delegation at the 2 December poll, and consultation on its make-up.

"This is not business as usual," an OSCE spokeswoman said, adding that such conditions could seriously limit the chance for "meaningful observation".

The OSCE international security body often sends monitors to elections.

I'll be curious to see if your Administation has any catty remarks to make about this issue given that they did SFA when Azerbaijan, whose oil they want, went even further 4 years ago by actually kicking out the observors.
