59 victims in Kocani, the mayor resigns

The Mayor of Kocani Municipality, Ljupco Papazov, has announced on social media that he has submitted his irrevocable resignation following the tragedy at the Pulse disco where 59 people lost their lives and many others were injured.

"There are no words that can describe the pain we all feel. Those children were our children. I knew most of them, I knew their families, and some of them were family friends. The shock and heartbreak I feel will last my entire life. This tragedy has left Kocani and Macedonia in darkness and the void left is unbearable," Papazov wrote.

He stressed that all competent institutions must investigate the responsibility of all those involved in this event.

"I ask all competent institutions to investigate the responsibility of all those involved! Failure to act is also a responsibility. All details must be investigated, all omissions must be found, and all persons who contributed to this tragedy must be held accountable. I place myself fully at the disposal of the institutions. Although by law I had no direct authority in this case, I am prepared to answer all questions about everything, as well as about my personal actions," Papazov said. (A2 Televizion)
