CoE Monitors Polls in Adjara

The 8-member delegation of the Council of Europe (CoE) Congress led by Joseph Borg arrived today in Adjara’s capital Batumi to observe the elections in the Autonomous Republic scheduled for June 20.
 
The mission, which will last up to June 21, envisages a number of meetings with the representatives of the electorate bodies, central, regional and local authorities, as well as political parties and NGOs.
 
Citizens in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara will elect a new, 30-seat Parliament during fresh elections on June 20.
 
After the peaceful ousting of Adjara’s former head, Aslan Abashidze, President Saakashvili disbanded Abashidze’s puppet, two-chamber local Parliament and imposed direct presidential rule in the region. The 20-member Interim Council was set up to govern the republic until the snap local elections.
