MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The final decision on the date of Austrian presidential election re-run will be made on Friday, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry told Sputnik on Tuesday after country’s Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka proposed to hold the vote on October 2.
“I can confirm that there is a proposal from the Interior Minister [to hold a re-run on October 2]. But the decision has to be taken by the Federal Government together with the National Assembly. Decision-taking is expected for Friday this week,” Karl-Heinz Grundböck said.
