OSCE, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian NGOs to observe Seimas’ elections

The six-strong OSCE team, headed by Kimmo Robert Kiljunen of Finland, plan to stay in Lithuania until Oct. 15, Lithuania’s Central Electoral Commission (VRK) said.

Short-term observers also visited Lithuania during the general elections four years ago.

In addition to the OSCE mission, the VRK approved on Wednesday another 50 or so observers from different organizations.
