The High Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade filed an indictment for the omissions that led to the collapse of a shelter at the Railway Station in Novi Sad.
In this incident, which occurred on November 1st of last year, 15 people lost their lives.
The indictment was filed against the investment development manager at the company "Railway Infrastructure of Serbia", Slobodanka K., the chairman of the Commission for Technical Inspection of the Railway Station in Novi Sad, Milutin S., and the member of this commission, Bilana K.
"The indictment was filed in connection with the commission of criminal offenses with corrupt elements, which resulted in the collapse of the shelter," said the Chief Prosecutor of the High Public Prosecution Office, Nenad Stefanović.
He said there are reasonable suspicions that their omissions are related to the cause of the tragedy.
Since this incident occurred, students in Serbia have organized mass protests and blockades in several cities in the country, demanding criminal and political accountability for the case.
The Prime Minister of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, has resigned, as has the Mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Đurić.
Student requests
The students' demands for an end to the blockades include the publication of full documentation for the reconstruction of the Novi Sad Railway Station, to determine responsibility for the accident of November 1, 2024.
They also demand that the attackers of demonstrators across Serbia, during the protests that followed the accident, be identified and face criminal responsibility.
The demands also include the release of activists arrested during the protests, the suspension of criminal proceedings against them, and an increase in the budget for universities.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has said that the students' demands have been met, but their protests continue. /REL (A2 Televizion)
