They are not in life danger, and as the editor of the portal said, Predrag Petrovic, they are on IV therapy, and after the scanner, it will be known if they have other injuries on the body.
Petrovic said that the journalists were attacked in the center of Skopje. The team was recording several people throwing fake banknotes with Albanian flags from the replica of Arc de Triomphe.
At least four people, who threw banknotes, came down from the replica and attacked journalists and cameramen from behind, hitting them with fists on the head and body.
This unfortunate event occurred near the end of the protest in which several thousand people protested in the streets in order to, as they said, give their support for unitarity of Macedonia, which will reportedly be in danger if the Social Democrats and Albanian parties form government.
The attackers were arrested, but it is not known how many were detained. It was not stated or how old they are, nor their identities.
