Serbia on Tuesday observes a day of mourning following the tragic incident in North Macedonia, where at least 59 people were killed and 155 injured in a nightclub fire.

The Macedonian government has declared seven days of mourning in response to the disaster.

Flags at all state institutions and government buildings in Serbia have been lowered to half-mast, and media outlets, as well as cultural institutions, are required to adjust their programming in accordance with this day of mourning.

The fire broke out at the Puls nightclub in the town of Kocani on March 16, at around 3 am, resulting in the tragic loss of life.
