International observer from America Jim Harris told about the importance of different points of view and impartiality:

-Russia is not limited by the capitals, as America does. It is important to travel to the regions and observe the elections there. Today I’m going to Chelyabinsk. As observers, we were prepared in advance. We are expecting to see in the local election commissions the same eager attitude which I saw in Moscow.

Countries that represented by international observers, are in different relations with Russia. It is important that we all have different points of view on the voting process here. With my colleague, we previously worked for state agencies. And now, as observers, we think that it is important for us to stay impartial and objectively assess the elections.
