Serbian Ex-Minister Among 13 Indicted Over Deadly Novi Sad Station Collapse

The November 1 canopy collapse that killed 15 people has fueled nationwide protests against corruption and government accountability.

Former Transport Minister Goran Vesic and 12 others have been charged with endangering public safety and irregular construction practices following the deadly incident.
The collapse of the railway station canopy in Novi Sad occurred after repeated renovations tied to a Chinese-led infrastructure project, raising allegations of corruption and negligence.
The indictments come as Serbia faces mass protests, with demonstrators demanding accountability and transparency from the government.
Critics argue that the investigation lacks a thorough financial probe into alleged corruption, which many believe led to the tragedy.
The incident has intensified scrutiny of Serbia's judiciary and government, with opposition leaders calling for deeper reforms and resignations from top officials.
