"Now we had completely smooth and normal cooperation, complete trust in the Republic Institute of Statistics," Kovačević said.
When asked how many Albanians were enumerated in those three municipalities, Kovačević replied that "the total number of enumerators that entered the database is about a hundred thousand, and that the contingent of the usual present population is somewhere around 61.000 - 62.000".
