Secretaries of OSCE PA Delegations
13 April 2016
Dear Heads of Delegations,
The 5
th
of June 2016 has been agreed as the date for early parliamentary elections in the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and the OSCE PA will deploy an election observation
mission to these important elections.
Please find attached a registration form for Members wishing to observe these elections.
We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a copy of the photograph page from
Members’ passports, a digital photo, and the completed Code of Conduct for OSCE PA Election
Observers to the International Secretariat at ([email protected]) as soon as possible, but no
later than
6 May 2016.
Please note that due to registration procedures, we may not be able to
accommodate those who register after the deadline.
To ensure geographical balance within the Assembly mission, each national delegation
may nominate up to 10% of the entire participation.
We therefore invite each national
delegation to nominate up to six participants.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to participants
soon. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held during the 2 days before election day in
Skopje, and Members are reminded that in accordance with the OSCE PA’s Astana Declaration
of 2008, participants are expected to attend the full briefing programme as well as the de-
briefing on the day following the election.
I wish to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their Members’
expenses and that only English interpretation will be provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Baker
Director of Elections
