Georgia gets ready for elections

As you might know these days a delegation of Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights of the OSCE is going to visit Georgia to define the workload for the upcoming parliamentary elections in October. In April Georgia officially forwarded invitations to the OSCE and some other democratic institutions with a remark where Georgia asked to send as many observers as possible with the utmost dispatch. Previously I worked in Georgia as an observer and I have to say that such early invitation can be easily explained. The main point is that Saakashvili and the rest of Georgian politicians want to form a plan of how to fix the upcoming elections. I don't know how Georgians will lure the observers this time, but I have to say they offered me $150.000, the joys of paradise, right-on women and so on. And I don't think their offers really changed. I vanquished temptation and caused displeasure of Georgian side so I hope my colleagues will do the same because by such generous offers Saakashvili wants to establish contacts with those ones who will evaluate the October elections and to get rid of people like me, who take no bribes and do the job.
