POLICY BRIEF - Burundi: 3 months to go until the elections. Vigilance by the EU has never been so needed!

Three months from the holding of legislative and local elections in Burundi (on 26 May 2015), which will be followed by presidential elections (26 June) amongst others, and numerous concerns persist about the democratic nature of the entire electoral process. On this occasion, EurAc would like to reiterate that "only the organisation of an inclusive, transparent and peaceful electoral process would enable the country, which is still in a post-conflict situation, to overcome the political deadlock caused by the 2010 electoral process".
