Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>By Alois Vinga<\/b> –<\/p>\n

THE European Union (EU) is set to table a report on the country\u2019s electoral environment shortly after a recent visit by the Western bloc\u2019s observer mission to assess progress on recommendations made on the 2018 general elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com Tuesday, EU\u2019s head of delegation to Zimbabwe, Timo Olkkonen said the high powered team which visited Zimbabwe will publish the observations.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty soon, the EU Electoral Observation Mission will publish its report from the observations they made in Zimbabwe. We are waiting for their assessment, which came out of the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, in 2018, the EU\u2019s observation mission made 23 recommendations to Zimbabwe and then the follow up mission visited the country to assess the progress made on the recommendations. So we are waiting for the assessment to take note of the latest developments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said on the economic front, there are a number of issues that are pulling back the Western bloc\u2019s investments from flowing into Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The concerns include the foreign currency retention, repatriation of profits, security of ownership, level playing field, procurement and corruption and tenure in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

Quizzed on whether the re-engagement efforts by President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s administration will likely exert positive transformation of the country\u2019s image, the top envoy hinted that the efforts have not yielded much.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that there have been ongoing processes on those but questions still exist. Concerns from the EU still recur. These are ongoing processes; our indicator is what European stakeholders think about it. Most of them believe that there is still work to be done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Western bloc has continuously renewed sanctions on Mnangagwa\u2019s administration over the years, arguing he has done very little to depart from the old ways of corruption and human rights abuses exhibited by his predecessor, late former President Robert Mugabe.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the likely outcomes of the soon to be tabled report on the country\u2019s electoral landscape, academic and political analyst, Ibbo Mandaza predicted that nothing really new will emerge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I cannot say much on something I have not read, I don\u2019t see any change of stance in the forthcoming report. The organ has observed the country\u2019s elections since 2000 producing similar reports. Worse still, nothing much has really changed on the political terrain, so a change of stance cannot be expected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
