The European Union neglected basic human rights. Thus, Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean government Giorgi Muradov commented on Brussels' refusal to recognize the elections held on Sunday, September 10, on the peninsula.

The European Union considers it possible to respect the rights of its citizens only. Earlier, Brussels neglected the right of Crimeans to a referendum on reunification with Russia, now - the right to free elections. "When the Germans were reunited, without a referendum, there were no questions in European countries about the legitimacy," Muravadov quoted RIA Novosti as saying..

However, in the Crimea, a different position from the EU and did not expect. According to the vice-premier of the government of the peninsula, while the European authorities will ignore the rule of law in favor of their interests, until "their logic of understanding of human rights changes", the position of the EU in relation to the Crimea will not change.

The same opinion is held in the State Council of Crimea. As deputy Vladislav Ganzhara noted in an interview with RT, "such systemic statements" regarding the ongoing processes in the country are "speculation on the Crimean issue," but do not reflect reality and do not affect life on the peninsula and in Russia as a whole. "The main thing is that the elections were fair and transparent," Ganjara stressed..

On Monday, September 11, the EU website reported that any election in the Crimea is illegitimate, therefore, the election of the governor of Sevastopol, as well as deputies to the regional parliament in the European Union do not recognize.

"Anyone who is elected on the Crimean peninsula, pretending to" represent "the Crimea and Sevastopol, will not be recognized as representatives of those territories that are Ukrainian," the communique says..

On Sunday, September 10, in Russia, there was a single voting day. Residents of Crimea elected municipal deputies, members of the State Council, and in Sevastopol for the first time in history elected the governor by direct vote.

Kiev has already protested to Moscow in connection with the "electoral processes" on the peninsula, calling them "a gross violation" of the laws of Ukraine.
