Russia accuses Europe vote watchdog of "sabotage" - by Conner Sweeney
Russia accused Europe's main election watchdog on Friday of trying to sabotage plans for monitoring its presidential election, the latest round of an increasingly bitter dispute with the West over democracy. Russia's Foreign Ministry said the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) monitoring body ODIHR was playing political games over next month's election. President Vladimir Putin's chosen successor Dmitry Medvedev, who enjoys blanket coverage on state media and full support from the Kremlin, is expected to win the election by a landslide.
