International election monitors have hailed Ukraine's presidential elections as "professional, transparent, and honest." The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's glowing assessment is likely to increase pressure on Yulia Tymoshenko to concede the election.

Joao Soares, head of OSCE Mission,said, "Yesterday's vote was an impressive display of democratic elections. It's now time for the country's political leaders to listen to the people's verdict and make sure that the transition of power is both peaceful and constructive."
