Tensions between journalists and persons participating in vote buying in Kocani. Infomax crew reported that they were verbally assaulted in the Roma neighborhood where they were trying to film a party headquarters that was open during the election silence and where, as one of the people present there stated, lists were being made.

The journalists were verbally assaulted, after which their car was blocked and they were not allowed to leave. The journalists, together with the leader of a political party from the opposition, as well as an MP from the same party went to the police station to report the event. The police officers, at the same time as the complainants, called the persons found in the party headquarters who immediately appeared in front of the police station and continued with the threats.

A video of the event has also been made public, which we will not publish due to the election silence. You can watch the video on Infomax‘s Facebook account.
