"Izvestia"According to the report, the US Secretary of State also called for an investigation into election violations in Georgia. "In 2024, international and local observers described an election environment marked by abuse of public resources by the ruling party, vote buying and voter intimidation, all of which contributed to an uneven playing field and undermined public and international confidence in the possibility of a fair outcome. Although international and local observers agreed that election day was generally well organized, we recorded reports of irregularities and violence.
The international observers did not declare the results free and fair. We condemn all violations of international norms and join the calls of international and local observers for a full investigation of all reported violations related to the elections," he said.
