According to him, only one polling station has been formed for the elections on the territory of the republic - in the consular department of the Russian diplomatic mission in Vilnius.
Yolkin, in an interview with RIA Novosti, explained that this is due to the closure of the Russian Consulate General in Klaipeda and is due to the need to ensure increased security measures.
“It is possible to do this to the proper extent directly on the territory of the embassy.
True, here too we cannot exclude various kinds of provocations from anti-Russian subjects,” he noted.
Earlier it became known that the German authorities agreed to hold voting in the country in the Russian presidential elections.
