The presidential election in Gomel oblast is held in a transparent and friendly atmosphere, observer from Germany Frantz Masser told in an interview with BelTA. “What is especially pleasing is that the election commissions are open and full of respect towards both the electors and observers. When we ask something we receive irrefragable answers from its members,” he said. Frantz Masser monitored the parliamentary election in 2004 in Belarus. According to him, the present election is remarkable for a high turnout. Yet the most sticking change is the better look of villages and towns. New buildings are being constructed everywhere. “I think that the Belarusian economy has been developing in the right way. This is a guarantee that the life in the country will become better,” Frantz Masser said.
