Former Serbian Transport Minister Indicted After Tragedy

News summary

Thirteen individuals, including former Serbian Transport Minister Goran Vesic, have been indicted for serious endangerment of public safety following the fatal roof collapse at Novi Sad train station on November 1, which killed 15 people. The prosecution cited justified suspicion of grave offenses related to improper construction practices, prompting widespread public outrage and protests against government corruption. Vesic resigned shortly after the incident, distancing himself from responsibility, and has been previously detained before being released. The indictment, which must be confirmed by a court, is part of a rapid legal response that has drawn attention amid ongoing public demonstrations against the government. Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic defended the judicial process as swift, while critics question the independence of the judiciary under the current administration. The incident has highlighted broader frustrations with governance and infrastructure safety in Serbia.
