Exactly eight years ago, eight members of the police forces died in an armed shootout in the Kumanovo settlement called “Divo Naselje”.
Ljubisa Arangelovikj, Boban Ivanovikj, Goran Ilijevski, Zharko Kuzmanovski, Isamedin Osmani, Sasho Samojlovski, Nenad Serafimovski and Goran Stojmenovikj lost their lives in the shootings. They were posthumously awarded the “Medal for Courage” by the then President Gjorge Ivanov, for the exceptional courage and self-sacrifice shown in defense of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Macedonia.
