A comprehensive review of the Election Code should be undertaken well in advance of the next elections in order to bring it in accordance with OSCE commitments and other international obligations and standards. Amendments should be subject to public consultation and adopted following a transparent legislative process. More efforts should be taken to further ensure and effectively enforce the constitutionally enshrined principle of separation of power between the three branches of government.
