While acknowledging that none of the standards has been fully met, Jessen-Petersen told the AP that the province has made sufficient progress for the process to determine its future to be launched.
Priznajući da nijedan od standarda nije u potpunosti ispunjen, Jesen Petersen je međutim izjavio agenciji AP da je pokrajina ostvarila dovoljan napredak za pokretanje procesa utvrđivanja njene budućnosti.
