Condolences from Minister Đurić on the tragedy in North Macedonia

16. Mar 2025.
On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, as well as in my personal capacity, I extend my deepest condolences to the people and authorities of the Republic of North Macedonia following the tragic fire that occurred last night at the "Pulse" nightclub in Kočani, claiming dozens of lives.

In these difficult moments, Serbia stands with its fraternal North Macedonia, sharing in the sorrow and grief over this unprecedented tragedy.

The peoples of our two countries are bound by a historic friendship and brotherly ties, reaffirmed throughout history, especially in the most challenging times.

Just as we have always stood by each other in the past, the Republic of Serbia firmly stands with its brothers in North Macedonia today and is ready to provide all necessary support and assistance.

Our thoughts are with the families of the victims, to whom we extend our heartfelt condolences, and with the injured, to whom we wish a swift recovery.

Sharing in the sorrow of this indescribably tragic and distressing event, I believe that together we will overcome this tragedy, as we have done in the past.
