Speaking about the ongoing election campaign in the United States, Viktor Karpenko noted, “The electoral system of the United States of America is very complicated, let’s say, it’s completely unpredictable and incomprehensible. But at the same time, it is the system of the United States. Moreover, Belarus – as a sovereign state, as a subject of international politics – has never given any official assessments of any elections in the United States. Therefore, we would like our system not to be assessed either. If we invite observers to our country, including from the United States, we would like them to assess first of all how the electoral process complies with our national legislation.”
