Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic said that he will accept Minister Goran Vesic’s resignation, adding that he expects more resignations.

“We will wait another 24 hours to see if the people in charge of certain issues to come up with that on their own. I expect resignations in the coming days,” Vucevic said, adding that it would not be logical for things to end with just Vesic’s resignation.

Vesic offered his resignation over the deaths of 14 people when a roof collapsed at Novi Sad Railway Station last Friday. The opposition and public have been calling for resignations over the tragedy.

Goran Vesic formally resigned from the post of Minister of Construction, Traffic and Infrastructure on Tuesday.

He said Vesic knows that holders of state posts bear responsibility. “I have no dilemma that he is not subjectively to blame for what happened on November 1. Politics includes responsibility for things that you are not personally to blame for,” he added.

Vucevic said he does not understand the protests following the tragedy and called them “morally disgusting”.
