Albert Jónsson: We are not in position to measure impact of allegations
“We list the allegations, but we are not in a position to measure the impact that these allegations, violations have. We are not investigators,” said Albert Jónsson, Head of the ODIHR Election Observation Mission at a press conference on Sunday.
Albert Jónsson “encourages the authorities to investigate numerous widespread allegations properly.”
