"To leave or to stay - this question is being asked more and more often in the Latgale regions after drone incidents and cellphone warnings. However, the real estate market does not yet show signs of a mass exodus - recent events have not changed people's desire to stay where they live. People are still buying apartments, houses and rural properties in the region, but entrepreneurs and investors are becoming more cautious," says the report.
