30/01/2020 | 19:47:01 The committee is in favour. I shall now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. The amendment is agreed to. Amendment 10. Will you speak about the Amendment 10? Ms Yelyzaveta YASKO. No? You withdraw. Anybody still wants to to keep it, no? Now, it looks like Amendment 29 is also withdrawn. Does anybody wish to speak now? So I think we finished the list of amendments and we now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 15031 as amended. The vote... 30/01/2020 | 19:32:36 Thank you.

It's really the masterpiece of manipulation of different legal things. So we created really a very nice thing, a very nice mechanism. We are all saying it will be very much applicable for the future but I have doubts. I think it will never work. It will never work for two reasons. One reason because it's too... 27/01/2020 | 15:22:43 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I would like to start from the sheet of paper, the written observation of early parliamentary elections in Belarus. I think there is a mistake, they had to be the word parliamentary "selection" in Belarus. Because, really, we are not observing who is elected, but what the election commission selects before you can elect. So, probably, we cannot speak about the freedom of election, that's one. The second thing. With time I was not observing these elections, I have...
