Elections to proceed in calm atmosphere
President Michel Sleiman said he hoped that the upcoming elections would be held in a calm atmosphere.
Sleiman added that the necessary reforms were on the right track, including the reform of the electoral law, and called on Lebanese MPs to launch extensive reforms following the elections.
Sleiman met on Monday with a delegation from the European Union, headed by EU parliamentarian Beatrice Patrie.
During the meeting, Sleiman said "the Lebanese Constitution guaranties a full participation of Lebanese electorate through a proportional-based electoral system."
He added that Arab, regional and international reconciliation would reflect positively on Lebanon and its relations with the world.
