This decision of the Bureau of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe was adopted during a meeting on Monday in Paris, reports the Institute of Mass Information.

At the Bureau meeting, a report was approved, prepared by three rapporteurs of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities who worked as observers during the elections of the mayor of Mukachevo. The report lists in detail all the violations recorded during their conduct.

This report is proposed to be presented for discussion at the June session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

According to the report, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe recognized that the elections in Mukachevo "discredit the electoral process in Ukraine."

Representatives of the Council of Europe also note "interference by the highest authorities in these elections" and state "the use of unidentified criminal gangs during the elections."

"Falsification reached an extremely large scale during the counting of voting results in Mukachevo," notes the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe.

In addition to recognizing the voting in the Mukachevo elections as invalid, the Congress calls for a criminal investigation to be launched and those responsible to be punished.
