A message of gratitude from an unknown sender has been posted on the information board near the entrance of the Consular Service of the Bulgarian Embassy in Oslo, thanking Bulgaria for its assistance to the victims of the incident in Kocani, the Republic of North Macedonia, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry said on Facebook on Wednesday.
The message expresses gratitude to the Bulgarian people for their support, including the blood donation campaigns and the tireless efforts of medical teams in Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna who treated the victims. "Thank you for all the support and help you provided during the most difficult days, and for showing that through brotherhood and unity, we can achieve more together," the message reads, concluding with "With love to the Republic of Bulgaria."
A total of 59 people died and 155 suffered varying degrees of burns and injuries after a fire broke out at the Pulse nightclub in Kocani during a concert by the popular band DNK in the early hours of Sunday. Most of the victims were aged between 14 and 25. The fire was caused by sparks from pyrotechnics used for lighting effects at the concert. Hundreds of people rushed to the only exit as flames engulfed the roof of the building. Some of the victims of the fire have been admitted for treatment in Bulgaria. Fourteen of the victims were transported to Bulgaria by a Bulgarian Air Force Spartan aircraft and ambulances from the Emergency Medical Care Centre in Sofia.
