Russian translation:весьма сложный вопрос/чрезвычайно сложная задача
Explanation:
Хммм.... перевод оставшейся части предложения представляется гораздо более "сложной задачей", чем перевод вынесенного в заголовок словосочетания. :)

Чрезвычайно трудно/сложно [определить...]


Explanation:
All the sentence needs a rebuilding when translated in Russian, and it's better to put this "great difficulty" at the beginning of the phrase:

"Чрезвычайно трудно/сложно определить, ...."

Explanation:
It is better to translate the whole phrase "has been a matter of great difficulty" rather than just the second part of it.
