MORANE, North Macedonia (Reuters) - Hundreds of mourners gathered in a Macedonian village cemetery in a cold rain on Friday to lay to rest 10 local inhabitants including eight schoolchildren who were among 45 people killed in a bus crash in Bulgaria.

The bus, carrying tourists back to North Macedonia after a weekend trip to Istanbul, caught fire on a highway in the early hours of Nov. 23. All victims have been identified as ethnic Albanians from North Macedonia.
