The majority of Crimean people support annexation to Russia.

Many Crimeans even hung Russian flags just a day before the vote.

In just one day, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea will hold a referendum to decide whether to join Russia or not. Preparations for the referendum are now complete.

Many residents of Sevastopol city did not hesitate when answering Reuters news agency's interview that choosing between Russia or Ukraine was not a difficult choice for them.

The majority of respondents said they wanted to be part of Russia and did not regret seceding from Ukraine.

“It would be better for us to return to Russia. Life and infrastructure in Russia are developing strongly. Everything will be better for us,” said one resident.

“In my opinion, our future lies in Russia. Of course we can be independent, but it is better not to forget our roots. Life is not just about earning money, buying bread, a sofa or other household items. Life sometimes comes with responsibility,” said another.

“In my opinion, the referendum is a good idea. Because what is happening in Ukraine now is beyond what we can imagine,” one resident added.

The views of the Crimean people are not difficult to understand, as 58% of the Crimean population is of Russian origin. On March 14, the Russian flag was raised in many areas of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, from government offices to private homes.

According to Crimean authorities, polling stations are ready for tomorrow's referendum in Crimea. Preparations for this important event have been completed.

In Sevastopol city alone, 162 polling stations were set up in many public places.

“We are fully prepared for the referendum. We have drawn up a list of voters and the information has been confirmed,” said Yevgeni Nikolayev, an organizer at the polling station at Sevastopol Technical University, where about 1,000 voters are expected to cast their ballots.

This referendum is important not only for the country and the people of Crimea, but also for the whole world. To ensure the transparency and democracy of the vote, the authorities of Crimea and Russia invited international observers to monitor the referendum.

Many international observers arrived in Crimea today, including journalists and politicians from Serbia, Poland, Moldova, Bulgaria and many other countries around the world.

“Our goal is to observe how the referendum was held. Whether it was held according to international standards. Tomorrow we will monitor the organization of this event in Simferopol,” said Nenad Popovic, Deputy Speaker of the Serbian Parliament.

According to Crimean authorities, there will be about 70 international observers to monitor the referendum in this autonomous region./.
