Chilean observer Alejandro Navarro Brain said all international standards were met.

“The elections were held honestly and transparently... I have never seen such a level of organization in any country,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

His colleague from Spain, Fernando Moragon, noted the calm situation on the streets of the DPR cities and at the polling stations themselves.

Earlier, German journalist Thomas Roeper, who came to the Zaporozhye region as an observer at the Russian presidential elections, drew attention to the roads built in the region.
