<p>The Central African Republic’s Electoral Authority needs to adopt, without further
delay, a revised calendar for the holding of elections. Free, fair and inclusive elections
are crucial for the Central African Republic’s future stability and progress towards
reconciliation. The UK welcomes the Central African Republic’s Constitutional Court
ruling that all citizens of the Central African Republic, including internally displaced
people and refugees in neighbouring countries, have the right to vote in upcoming
elections. The UK recognises the significant progress achieved in the voters registration
process in the Central African Republic and emphasises the importance of the registration
of refugees in neighbouring countries. The UK is supportive of an EU Electoral Observation
Mission to the Central African Republic, subject to further discussions in Brussels
later this year.</p>
