Higher Public Prosecutor Nenad Stefanovic said Tuesday that, following an efficiently conducted preliminary investigation and inquiry, the Special Department for Combating Corruption of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has filed an indictment charging three people in connection with the commission of several criminal offenses with elements of corruption, which resulted in the collapse of a canopy at Novi Sad train station on November 1, 2024 that killed 15 people and severely injured two.

The prosecution has charged Slobodanka K., the investment development manager at Serbian Railways Infrastructure, Milutin S., the president of the Commission for Technical Inspection of Novi Sad Train Station, and Biljana K., a Commission member.

Stefanovic said that the investigation against two members of the Commission has been suspended due to a lack of evidence that they committed any criminal offense that is prosecuted ex officio.

He explained that the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Novi Sad has filed charges in the same case against other suspects who are charged with a criminal offence against public within the scope of so-called general crime.

“The Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime is conducting a preliminary investigation regarding the financing of the Novi Sad train station reconstruction project,” said Stevanovic.
