MACEDONIA-POLITICS-DEMO

Protesters throw paint balloons at the building that houses the State Electoral Commission in Skopje on May 4, 2016, to express anger after the state body failed to efficiently clean the electoral roll. The country has been politically gridlocked for two years but the crisis rose a notch on April 12 when President Gjorge Ivanov halted a probe into more than 50 public figures suspected of involvement in corruption and a wire-tapping scandal. The move triggered street protests against Ivanov and the ruling party's leader, Nikola Gruevski. / AFP / Robert ATANASOVSKI (Photo credit should read ROBERT ATANASOVSKI/AFP via Getty Images)
