Naglašavajući da su izborne procedure u Srbiji u skladu s "najvišim demokratskim standardima", on smatra da je odbijanje komisije da dozvoli britanskim i američkim zvaničincima da prate izbore neutemeljeno.
Noting that Serbia's election procedures are in line "with the highest democratic standards", he viewed the commission's refusal to allow British and US officials to monitor the election as groundless.
