Recommendation:
One of the possible pre-conditions for a preservation of a competitive and fair election and an increase of trust in it, could be the different approach towards the composition of election commissions of the federal constituent territories, the territorial election commissions, and the municipal commissions by strengthening the role of political parties, not only the ‘parliamentary’ ones, and respectively, by reducing the control over the activities of regional administrative commissions.
