You're reading: Polish observers to come to parliamentary elections in Ukraine

Poland is to send observers to Ukraine to monitor the parliamentary elections in 2012, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said.

"There is an OSCE department in Poland that monitors elections, that’s why Poland will probably send its observers to the elections," he told his Ukrainian counterpart Kostiantyn Hryschenko at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.

At the same time, Sikorski said that democratic elections were not just a fair vote count.

"Democratic elections aren’t just a fair vote count – there is also everything around it, connected with the mass media and the institutional preparations for this process," he said.
