Opposition parliamentary parties welcomed Serbian Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure Minister Goran Vesic’s decision to resign over the deadly Novi Sad accident, but said this step is insufficient, and that the greatest political responsibility lies with Serbia’s Prime Minister Milos Vucevic.

During a meeting, representatives from all opposition parties unanimously supported the demands of citizens and the united opposition in Novi Sad for the resignations of Vucevic, Vesic, and Novi Sad Mayor Milan Djuric.

They invited citizens to assemble on Tuesday, November 5, at 6 pm outside the main railway station in Novi Sad for a peaceful protest to honor the victims and demand accountability, said the People’s Movement of Serbia (NPS).

Vesic’s resignation cannot be deemed sufficient because Prime Minister Vucevic bears the greatest political responsibility for the tragedy, said the press release.

The meeting was attended by the NPS, Party of Freedom and Justice, Green-Left Front, Serbia Center Party, Democratic Party, Movement of Free Citizens, Ecological Uprising, New Democratic Party of Serbia, Branimir Nestorovic’s We Power of the People, and New Face of Serbia.

Vesic said on Monday evening that he would submit his resignation on Tuesday due to the railway station accident but insisted that he cannot accept blame for the deaths of 14 people and is confident that the investigation will show he is not at fault.
