(b) The next step is to wait until the Housing Office decides to assign
living space. Normally that takes a minimum of six months up to a
year or even two years. No other documentation is necessary since
the Housing Office checks the information in the Lutje with the
Kryetar (president) of the Kshilli Lagjes (sub-sector) of the rdione
in which the applicant lives.
(c) When the Housing Office assigns living space it posts on a special
board at the Housing Office a Manifeste (Nominal Roll) of the citizens
to whom living space has been assigned.
(d) If the applicant has been so fortunate as to have his name posted he
obtains from the Housing Office a so-called Autorizim (Authorization)
document, issued to the applicant in his name. This Autorizim is
typewritten on white paper which bears a printed heading. Sample:
