Eighteen marathon runners, who started their race in Nova Gradiska - Croatia, should arrive in Krusevo today. The 1.100km-race is finishing at Tose' grave in his hometown.

Ten days ago 'Tose Fan Forum' organized a blood donation campaign and a memorial concert in honor of the forth anniversary of his last humanitarian performance.

In late September the Tose Proeski Foundation and Macedonia's Volleyball Federation organized a Memorial International Volleyball Tournament in Krusevo.

On October 16 four years ago Tose died in a car accident on the Zagreb–Lipovac highway near Nova Gradiska, Croatia. He was a passenger along with his manager Ljiljana Petrovic in a Volkswagen Touareg driven by Georgij Georgijevski. The Touareg crashed into the back of a truck and then into the median barrier, killing Tose instantly. Of the other two passengers, only the driver suffered serious injuries. October 17 was pronounced a national day of mourning in Macedonia. After his death, the government gave him the title 'Honorable citizen of Macedonia'
