EU observers back in town

JAKARTA: The European Union team of election observers are
returning to the country to observe the presidential elections on
July 5.

Sixty-eight observers rejoined the mission's core team of a
dozen election experts, who arrived in Indonesia at the end of
February to observe the April 5 legislative election.

The European Union is projected to have a total of 230
observers, making it the largest election observation mission
ever developed.

The observers, led by Glyn Ford, will monitor most of
Indonesia's election preparations, including campaigns, the work
of poll organizers, watchdogs and the media.

After the voting, they will observe the vote counting and the
handling of possible complaints and appeals. -- JP
