De pakistanske myndigheder har over for EU's trojka klart forpligtet sig til at overholde den tidsfrist, som i øvrigt er fastsat af Pakistans højesteret, og som foreskriver, at de omhandlede valg skal afholdes senest tre år efter statskuppet.
The Pakistani authorities have given a firm commitment to the EU troika that it will respect the timeframe, which was established by the Supreme Court, of three years following the military coup until the organisation of these elections.
