The Kochani tragedy reminded us how quickly everything can change and how important it is to stand together in the most difficult moments, Macedonian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Timcho Mucunski said in a social media post.
“Thanks to the swift communication with our partners, the activation of the European Civil Protection Mechanism and the willingness of many countries to help, our patients received medical care in hospitals across Europe. I expressed my sincere gratitude to the governments, embassies, institutions and peoples of friendly countries who lent a hand without hesitation, but also to the doctors and medical teams. Behind all the diplomatic efforts and expressions of support were precisely those people – the people who, with their knowledge, experience and sacrifice, saved lives. I also emphasized that friendship has a special weight in moments like these. That is when you best see who a true friend is. Kochani will remember the tragedy, but our country will also remember something else – that when darkness came, our people stood together, and friends stood by us,” FM Mucunski noted.
