"We have been waiting for this day for 7 months," he said, expressing confidence that today there will finally be "a decision-making."
Exchanging jokes with journalists, Cakrani recalled the bet he made with them that within this month, former President Meta would be released from prison.
"My bets are coming out, you'll see. We'll be here. Okay?!", declared Cakrani.
