With 16 minutes of silence and with phone lights in their hands, hundreds of protesters gathered in Skopje's main square this Tuesday evening, in a protest organized due to the tragedy with 59 victims in Kocani in the early hours of March 16.
The protest was peaceful and silent and without speeches.
Also, one of the protest announcements stated that there would be a protest with roadblocks, but not on these critical days.
In North Macedonia, flags were lowered to half-mast on the first day of 7 days of national mourning.
Meanwhile, since Monday afternoon, protests by citizens outraged by the event began in the country.
Several protests took place in Kocani.
Protesters marched in front of the prosecutor's office and the city court, while dozens of them, in anger, stopped in front of one of the premises owned by the same person who owned the nightclub where the tragedy occurred.
They destroyed most of the premises and a vehicle allegedly belonging to the same person.
59 young people lost their lives after a massive fire at the "Koçan Puls" discotheque, while 155 injured people continue to receive medical treatment in hospitals in the Koçan area, as well as in other countries.
20 of them are reported to be in serious condition.
