OSCE representatives say the procedures of the Russian presidential election were well organized and without any major rigging, but that the unequal media presence of the candidates resulted in a \u201clack of genuine competition.\u201d <\/p>\n

A preliminary report by monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe was released on Monday, on the day after the election and before the announcement of the official results.<\/p>\n

\u201cChoice without real competition, as we have seen here, is not real choice. The Central Election Commission\u2019s professional and efficient administration of the technical aspects of the election deserves recognition<\/em>,\u201d the head of the observer mission, Michael Georg Link, said in the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut where the legal framework restricts many fundamental freedoms and the outcome is not in doubt, elections almost lose their purpose \u2013 empowering people to choose their leaders<\/em>,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n

The European observers said that all eight candidates could campaign freely, but also alleged that incumbent President Vladimir Putin received more media coverage, which made the competition uneven. At the same time, they said that Russian election laws are in line with the latest recommendations from the OSCE\u2019s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and that this ensured greater competition.<\/p>\n

Observers from the OSCE and other international groups, foreign legislatures, and Russian political parties and NGOs said they have general confidence in the accuracy of voter lists and welcome legal changes enabling voting in polling stations away from people\u2019s permanent place of residence.<\/p>\n

One foreign observer, Italian representative in the European Parliament Stefano Maullu, said that the election displayed a good result for democracy in Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone recognizes the fact that Russia has achieved the level of very wise democracy, everyone recognizes this good result for Russian democracy and its president<\/em>,\u201d MEP Maullu was quoted as saying by TASS at a Monday meeting with the head of the Upper House committee for international relations, Konstantin Kosachev.<\/p>\n
