Laima Andrikienė, a Lithuanian member of the EPP-ED group, noted that a chair of a voting commission was not aware that the polling station was open, while German Green Milan Horáček reported some language problems in Crimea, where many elderly residents speak Russian, rather than Ukrainian, and had problems understanding the voting instructions.
Vācu deputāts no Zaļo grupas Milan Horáček savukārt sūdzējās par valodas problēmām Krimā — daudzi vecāki cilvēki tur runā tikai krieviski, tādēļ viņiem bija grūtības saprast ukraiņu valodā rakstītās vēlēšanu instrukcijas.
