The October 28 parliamentary elections in Ukraine were democratic, head of the observation mission of the European Academy for Election Observation Thierry Mariani has said.

"The Ukrainian parliamentary elections were held in compliance with democratic norms," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.

"Everything was quiet in the country on the election day, with individual cases of technical organizational problems," he said.

"There were no reports of systematic violations," Mariani added.
