She also said that there had been no complaints from other European Parliament observers.
"If all international observers confirm that the election was democratic, then all candidates should recognize the results so that the second round is held in line with the rules of the game," Harms said.
"Ukraine and its citizens have got closer to the West and the EU over the last five years," she said.
International monitors headed by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe also said that Ukraine's presidential election on Sunday was of high quality and showed significant progress on previous polls there, .But the law on electoral procedure needed to be clarified and a last-minute court ruling on home-voting, plus "unsubstantiated" accusations of large-scale fraud by politicians, had shaken public confidence, a statement said.
