Parliament of the Republic will send an invitation to the parliaments of other countries, and the CEC to its counterparts in about a month, so in this case we are talking about short-term missions», Vladimir Churov said, RIA Novosti informs.
In turn, the Russian Central Election Commission member Igor Borisov said that the decision to send the delegation also depends on the current situation and the employment of members of the CEC of Russia.

In the letters the observers are invited to the presidential elections in Belarus.
