SILBAs 4 Danish and 4 Belarusian Observers were denied accreditation as well. They have just (Tuesday 28th, evening) been taken to the Police Station. We expect that they as well will be kindly asked to leave the country...
SILBA is a Danish NGO involved in promoting democracy in Former Soviet Republics. SILBA have conducted EOMs several times. SILBA was denied acc in Moldova in April as well, but carried out poll.station inspecs anyway.
