In Belgrade, tens of thousands of people protested over the uninvestigated tragedy at the Novi Sad train station. The students accuse the authorities of corruption and demand the release of documents on the construction of the collapsed roof.

A protest gathered tens of thousands of people in the Serbian capital. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

Details

The participants of the demonstration gathered in front of the building of the Serbian public broadcaster RTS, where they honored the victims of the Novi Sad tragedy with a minute of silence. 

The protest was organized by students of the University of Belgrade. They expressed outrage at the lack of action to investigate the collapse of the roof of the Novi Sad train station, which killed 15 people last November. 

The students also indicted President Aleksandar Vucic and his right-wing populist SNS party, accusing them of corruption. However, the authorities deny all charges. 

For several weeks, young people from various universities across the country, including Belgrade, Kragujevac, and Novi Sad, have been insisting that documents related to the construction of the station's roof be made public. However, their demands remain unanswered. 

Recall

Last November, the roof collapsed at the Novi Sad railway station, killing people. Dozens of rescuers and heavy equipment were working at the scene.
