Tbilisi. The EU has been following electoral process in Georgia closely, including the results of the preliminary official vote count, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy Johannes Hahn said in a joint statement on Sunday.

''The calm and open campaign atmosphere was, however, impacted by allegations of unlawful campaigning and some incidents of violence. Election Day generally proceeded in an orderly manner, but tensions increased during the day and several violent altercations took place near and in polling stations. However, voting was assessed positively in almost all polling stations'', is noted in the statement.
