ŽELJANA ZOVKO, VICE PRESIDENT OF COMMITTEE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AS DELEGATION OF EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, IS PARTICIPATING IN EU OBSERVATION MISSION FOR ELECTIONS IN PARAGUAY

BRUSSELS, MAY 1 (ONASA) – Željana Zovko, vice-president of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, is participating in the European Union’s observation mission for the general elections in Paraguay as part of the delegation of the European Parliament. This is the third time that the European Union observes the holding of elections in Paraguay.
The goal of the observation mission is to impartially and thoroughly review all parts of the electoral process and their compliance with the law and rules for democratic elections from international and regional treaties that Paraguay has signed.
The analysis of the observation mission will cover a number of factors, including the legal framework and its application to the elections, the election campaign, the work of the election administration, the credibility of the voter list, the candidacy register, and also confirm the final election results.
The leadership of the EU observation mission in Paraguay will announce its first conclusions at a press conference in Asunción two days after the elections, and a final report with recommendations for further electoral processes will be presented two months later to the Paraguayan government, electoral bodies, political parties and members of civil society. .
Let us remind you that in 2017, Zovko led the EU observation mission for the elections in Nepal, and in 2021 for the elections in Honduras. Through her activities in the Foreign Affairs Committee, Zovko also participated in observing the elections in Kenya in 2017 and in Zimbabwe in 2018.
