There have been tensions in Vlore Zonal Election Center, where Socialist
Movement for Integration representatives clashed with the ones of the
Socialist Party (SMI).

The incident started when Ndriçim Selami, one of the SMI local leaders for Vlore, tried to enter the counting process office, but he was stopped by the representatives of the Socialist Party.

Many police forces have intervened to calm the situation, but some minutes later, another problem appeared at the entrance of the “Sport Palace”, where the votes are being counted under the surveillance of a considerable amount of police forces.

The situation seems to be under control and the commissioners are continuing to count the votes.

There has been tension even in Korce, from where the Top-Channel reporter confirmed the Socialist Party complaint that the commissioners of this party have not been allowed to enter the vote counting room for several minutes.

The situation has continued to be nervous, and the unauthorized persons were asked to leave the vote counting room.
