The Macedonian Government has told the Bureau of Court Forensics to evaluate the damage done to buildings and monuments from more than two months of protests that have became known for their use of paint balls.
In a press release, the Government said it had given the Forensics Bureau 30 days for “an evaluation of the damages done to the administrative buildings of state institutions, of municipalities, monuments, squares and other buildings in Macedonia.”
Мany buildings and monuments were pelted with paint balls or sprayed with toy water guns filled with paint.
Among the buildings that have been "painted" in this way are the Government headquarters, the Parliament, the Skopje city administration building, the Foreign, Justice and Culture ministries, the Constitutional Court, the State Prosecution Office and others.
The new triumphal arch, monuments that were placed opposite the parliament, the giant equestrian statue of Alexander the Great as well as one expensive bronze bridge fence were all repeatedly painted.
