(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, MAY 4 - The small army (around 500) of
foreign observers who will check if the Algerian elections
scheduled on May 10 are held correctly will be completed in the
coming days.
The group includes 60 European Union experts and twelve
members of the European Parliament. The total number of European
observers (several arrived days ago in Algeria) will be around
140. They will be joined by 20 accredited ambassadors in
Algiers.
The EU observers, unlike other observers who will leave the
country much earlier, will stay in Algeria until June, when they
will draft a final report. This report will then be released
within a short matter of time (perhaps in the same month, and no
later than July).
The Arab League will also be present with a large group of
observers (132) who will arrive in Algiers on Sunday. The Arab
League general secretariat will be present with 14 of its
members. The African Union (AU) will send 200 observers, the UN
10 and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation 20. (ANSAmed).
