On September 24^th 2014 a working meeting was held, between ISI coordinator for Vidin district – Milena Marinova and two long-term observers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). During the meeting Milena presented the activities of the Institute for Social Integration as an organization monitoring the elections. She also informed them of the main points learned from the ISI training for civil observers, which took place in mid-September in the town of Bankia.

Milena and the OSCE observers also discussed the media monitoring, which ISI carries out with a group of experts and the network of observers. The OSCE representatives were highly interested in the election campaign in Bulgaria, and especially in the origin of the funds, which big parties use to finance their concerts and events.
