Balazard's conjecture on reciprocals of decomposition primes in abelian extensions

Let KK be a global field, and let L/KL/K be an abelian extension of degree nn. Write Dec(L/K)\operatorname{Dec}(L/K) for the set of places of KK that split completely in LL. Balazard's conjecture. There exists a constant MM depending only on KK such that

pDec(L/K),Npx1Np1nloglogxM.\left|\sum_{\substack{\mathfrak{p}\in \operatorname{Dec}(L/K),\\ \operatorname{N}\mathfrak{p}\leq x}}\frac{1}{\operatorname{N}\mathfrak{p}}-\frac{1}{n}\log\log x\right|\leq M.

This conjecture predicts a uniform Mertens-type estimate for completely split primes in abelian extensions, generalizing the corresponding result for rational primes in arithmetic progressions and cyclotomic extensions. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
