OREANDA-NEWS. The assessment of the Belarusian parliamentary elections by international observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is not entirely objective and biased. This was announced on Tuesday by the head of the CIS observer mission in the parliamentary elections in Belarus, Sergey Lebedev.

"This isn't surprising. We expected that such an assessment will sound. In our opinion, this is not a completely objective assessment", he said.
