Consequences of Tragedy in Novi Sad
The building of the main railway station in Novi Sad was opened in July 2024, after three years of reconstruction.
The Serbian railway institution has said on the day of the incident that the concrete shelter that has collapsed “has not been rebuilt and has not been part of the renovation”.
However, experts claim that even that part has been subject to reconstruction.
Construction efforts were carried out by a Chinese consortium.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq has vowed on Friday there will be justice and has sought severe penalties for those responsible. /Radio Europe Free
