«Впечатления самые благоприятные. Есть чему поучиться нам, большой России. Из того, что мы увидели на избирательных участках, мы сделали вывод, что, по крайней мере, никакой подтасовки не будет и все пройдет в соответствии с волеизъявлением тех, кто придет на выборы»

Corresponding elections
illegitimate
On 9 June 2019, the so-called Republic of South Ossetia, located within the internationally recognised borders of Georgia, held “parliamentary elections”. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise the sovereignty of the Republic of South Ossetia, while international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR considered “elections” there as illegitimate and did not send international election observers there.
