The current parliamentary election campaign in Ukraine was one of the most peaceful and uneventful in the history of independent Ukraine, Director of the Institute of Ukrainian Politics Kost Bondarenko has said.

"This is one of the most peaceful and maybe even boring election campaigns, in which there were no brilliant technological discoveries or bright moves by politicians," he said at a roundtable meeting in Kyiv on Wednesday.

He said that most parliamentary candidates had focused on preserving their ratings and worked little to improve them.

Bondarenko said that many events in the election campaign, which are described as outright violations, are in fact mudslinging by certain candidates.

He said that individual parliamentary candidates running in single-seat constituencies, rather than parties, were the main source of potential danger to the smooth holding of the elections.

"When a person feels that millions [of hryvnias] spent on the election campaign could be just wasted, he could start behaving inappropriately," the expert said.

Bondarenko said that a year ago, there were views by European and international politicians that the impossibility of participation in the elections for former Premier Yulia Tymoshenko and former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko threw into question the democratic holding of the upcoming elections in Ukraine, but the position has later changed and the international community is now awaiting how Ukraine holds the elections.

At the same time, in his opinion, the current authorities are least interested in a negative evaluation of the elections.

"These elections for the authorities are a moment of certain rehabilitation in the international community," Bondarenko said.

The parliamentary elections in Ukraine are scheduled for October 28.
