Polsinelli, Shalton, Welte & Suelthaus, P.C.

Martin Frost Attended the pre-election delegation to Ukraine's 2007 Parliamentary Elections in August.
This statement is offered by an international pre-election delegation organized by the National Democratic Institute (NDI). The delegation visited Ukraine from August 14 to August 20 to assess preparations for the September 30, 2007 Parliamentary elections. This delegation was composed of former Congressman and House Democratic Caucus Chair Martin Frost, elections consultant and former Deputy Director of the OSCE’s
Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) Peter Eicher, former United Nations Assistant Secretary General Cedric Thornberry, and NDI Eurasia Deputy Director Katie Fox.

The delegation’s purposes were to demonstrate the interest of the international community in the development of a democratic political process and democratic governance in Ukraine, and to present an accurate and impartial assessment of the political environment and its implications for democratic development. In late September, NDI will deploy a 30-person international observer delegation that will monitor the September 30 elections and the post-election period. NDI’s programs in Ukraine are funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The NDI pre-election delegation met with a diverse group of Ukrainian political and civic leaders, non-governmental organizations and domestic election groups, electoral authorities, government officials, and representatives of the media and the international community in Kyiv. The delegation conducted its activities in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation. NDI does not seek to interfere in Ukraine’s election process, and recognizes that, ultimately, it will be the people of Ukraine who will determine the credibility of their elections and the country’s democratic development.
