Georgian Transparency International department highly evaluates Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian democratisation experience and work of civil society organisations in field of supervision of elections and politics. That’s why it invited representatives of all three Baltic States to observe compliance of Georgian parliamentarian elections with principles of rule of law and good management and with international standards.

Amendments to Constitution will come into force in Georgia in 2013, providing bigger power to the Parliament, so these elections are especially important.
