"Georgian Dream" has used prohibited methods for Salome Zourabichvili"s victory, which is punishable by criminal law - it is said in the summary conclusion of the OSCE"s assessment of the presidential election in Georgia.The content of the document is acute.

Such radically negative assessment has not been issued bythe most influential observation mission in the Georgian elections for the last 20 years.

The document reads that a participation in the pre-election campaign of high-ranking officials has further removed the margin between the state and the party.
" While not prohibited by law, mayors, governors and MPs representing the GD accompanied the GD-backed candidate in most rallies observed by the ODIHR EOM. All these activities blurred the line between the state and the party, at odds with OSCE commitments and international good practice. "

" For both rounds, the gathering of voter data and mapping of political preferences, in combination with tracking voters on election day, raised concerns about the potential for intimidation and the ability of voters to vote free of fear of retribution, as provided by the OSCE commitments and other international obligations. " - says the document.
