Abstract
Democratisation, promotion of human rights and good governance are at the core of the European Union’s identity and constitute key objectives of its foreign and security policy. They are not only a moral imperative but they are also the best guarantors for stability and prosperity, which brings dividends to the international community as a whole, in terms of trade, security, cultural and human exchange. By supporting the electoral process, the EU is able to project its identity abroad and support respect for human rights and democratic values, as enshrined in the Treaties. The EU is one of the leading actors in terms of electoral assistance and election observation worldwide. The position of the European Commission as one of the key international donors in terms of electoral assistance has strengthened in the course of the last six years. From the adoption in 2000 of the EC Communication on Election Assistance and Observation until 2005, a significant increase in the volume of funding and in the complexity of the electoral assistance operations has been registered.
