Sadness, wailing, ambulance sirens and tears. This is how the atmosphere in the city where the biggest tragedy in the country so far took place can be described in a few words – Kocani.

In Kocani, thirty-one people who died in the fire at the Pulse disco were buried at the city cemetery. The funeral ceremony began at noon, and was officiated by the head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church - Ohrid Archbishopric, His Holiness Stefan. The ceremony of paying last respects was held according to special protocols.

The city was empty, and the only two places where people from Kočani gathered were the town square and the cemetery. Citizens gathered in groups, walking towards the town square to sign the book of condolences, light a candle, and leave flowers.

Others, with tears in their eyes and wailing, walked towards the eternal resting place to pay their respects to those who died in the accident. They carried flowers in their hands with a dedication to their friends, classmates and relatives who lost their lives.

The funeral was secured by police officers, as well as Red Cross teams who helped people, giving them water and food.

The only sounds that could be heard were the wailing, crying, and sirens of the ambulances that constantly moved through the city.

There was a "river" of young people, dressed in black, walking along with their classmates to pay their respects to their loved ones who had lost them. With tears in their eyes, flowers in their hands, and T-shirts with the image of their friends, they went to send them to their eternal resting place.

Stip said goodbye to the five people who died in the fire at the disco in Kocani – Damjan Tanevski, Filip Ivanovski, Filip Stevanovski, Aleksandar Kolarov and Aleksandar Efremov.
