Tbilisi. Parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 8 "were competitive, well-administered and fundamental freedoms were generally respected,” OSCE/ODIHR-led international election observation mission said in its preliminary conclusions on Sunday.

While opening and voting were assessed ''positively'' in almost all polling stations, the international observers said that the ballot counting process was ''assessed markedly worse'' with 31 percent of counts assessed as ''bad or very bad''.
