1. The free competition and overall civilized nature of the campaigns of the participating forces is commendable.
2. The unexpected high voter turnout must be further analyzed. On one hand, the civic activism that was displayed was»encouraging, while on the other hand, high voter turnout could have come as a result of a misuse of financial and administrative resources.
3. The fact remains that a substantial part of civil society, which does not have the required political inclination, is unable to make a free and informed choice in these difficult socio-economic times. The radical change of the society’s spiritual-cultural and political value systems is a very serious challenge to the political parties, civil society, and national-state elites.
