Following criticism from the OSCE, the government is proceeding with changes to the law concerning gatherings and demonstrations. The final text of the amendments, which adopts the recommendations of the OSCE's opinion, will be put to a vote in the Plenary Session of the Parliament. These changes aim to harmonize legislation with international standards and protect citizens' rights to assemble and demonstrate peacefully.
