A regular meeting of the Club of Women-Voters was held in the office of Fund "Sukhumi”.

A regional representative of the "Fair elections”, Teona Gogishvili who is a member of the Club of Women-Voters at the same time, was in Kosovo for two months as s long-term observer. Members of Kutaisi Club listened to her information about elections in Kosovo with great interest.

There were asked many questions: How far democratic were the elections for the local self-government? What infringements have been revealed? Which innovations can be used in our country?

Teona Gogishvili emphasized that gender problems exist in Kosovo too since women’s representation in election lists was low.

Participants of the Club of Women-Voters think that society should be informed of pre-election programmes of political parties in proper time. In parallel there should be carried out certain work with women’s electorate to support women-candidates.
