Tensions in the close vicinity of the polling stations in Dom na gradezhni rabotnici (Civil Engineers Home) are on the rise in the afternoon hours, allegedly due to the expected wave of voters from Pustec, Albania, who shed serious doubt on possible demographic intervention in the municipality Center during the last round of the elections.
