The government at Tuesday’s session decided to declare three days of mourning nationwide due to the bus accident in Bulgaria which killed 46 passengers.

At the beginning of the session, ministers held a moment of silence to pay tribute to the victims and offer condolences to their loved ones.

Macedonia declared Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (November 23, 24 and 25) as days of mourning.

State flags across the country and in front of country’s embassies have been lowered to half-mast.

All events are cancelled and the media should adjust their programs to be in line with the days of national mourning, the government said in a press release.
