Dear Ms Venera Azizi,
Our association would like you to convey to Ms. Gordana Slijanovska, President of the Republic of North Macedonia, and Mr. Izet Mexhiti, Deputy Prime Minister, our condolences on behalf of the Foreign Press Association of Switzerland and Liechtenstein (APES), following the terrible tragedy in Kocani that has struck the Macedonian population.
Our condolences to the Macedonian people for the tragedy that has just struck you so deeply and which has aroused great emotion among the population and sorrow abroad.
We are all the more touched by this since we have just completed a press trip to your country, thanks to your kindness.
We were able to discover and appreciate the warm welcome of the people in your country, the richness of their culture, and the political and economical challenges they face today.
We take this opportunity to personally thank you for allowing us this trip thanks to your organization.
We are very grateful to you.
Incidentally, you can watch the podcast of our press conference given online at the Geneva Press Club on May 10
