Fears that those responsible for fatal nightclub fire in North Macedonia will not be held accountable

The World

It’s been more than a month since a devastating fire tore through a nightclub in North Macedonia, killing 62 people. Almost every week since the disaster, relatives of the deceased have marched through the streets of the town of Kočani demanding justice. The club where the blaze happened was operating under a forged license and broke several fire safety rules that night. Dozens have been detained and questioned but many in North Macedonia are skeptical that justice will ever be served. The World’s Europe correspondent Orla Barry reports.
