After three weeks in the field, parties end the campaign for local elections. Analysts estimate that it was a blend of state issues and the resolution of local problems.
Red promises for sewers, water supply, roads, clean air, gasification, new schools and kindergartens, and so are promises for increased salaries, better living conditions, fast integration into the European Union and NATO, and then mutual accusations of crime, the decay of state, betrayal, entry of thousands of migrants.
