Serbia Arrests 11 Over Deadly Novi Sad Train Station Collapse

The arrests follow weeks of protests accusing corruption and negligence in the renovation of the station where 15 people died.

The roof collapse at Novi Sad's train station on November 1 killed 15 people and injured two others, sparking widespread protests across Serbia.
Prosecutors have charged 11 individuals, including former construction minister Goran Vesic, with crimes against public safety and irregular construction practices.
Protesters allege that corruption and nepotism in awarding renovation contracts to a Serbian-Chinese consortium led to substandard work and the disaster.
Resignations have followed the incident, including those of Vesic, Trade Minister Tomislav Momirovic, and the head of Serbian Railways Infrastructure.
Protesters continue to demand broader accountability, including the resignations of the prime minister and Novi Sad's mayor, as well as the release of detained activists.
