Asked if the 12-year stalemate in the city ended under the pressure of the international community, Inzko replied it was mostly a result of “great expectations.”
He expressed hope the political leaders will work on the solution to reform the Election Law in 2021, recalling that the country will see a new vote in 2022 already.
