The call came today in Bishkek from Alojz Peterle, the representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Peterle urged politicians to campaign in a "democratic and tolerant -- but certainly not in a violent -- way."
Acting President Kurmanbek Bakiev is seen as the frontrunner in the election, which comes four months after the government of Askar Akaev was ousted in a popular uprising.
