Belgrade, 1 November 2024 (MIA) - Serbia’s Interior Minister, Ivica Dačić, stated for the national broadcaster RTS that according to the latest information, 13 people have died after a concrete roof above the entrance of the railway station in Novi Sad collapsed on Friday.

Three injured people have been moved to the Clinical Center and are in critical condition.

He added that two women were rescued from the rubble and that the rescue operation was exceptionally difficult.

"This is a very heavy and massive structure, making it extremely difficult to lift and access the injured," Dačić stated.

The minister further expressed concerns that there may be additional casualties, including a six-year-old child among the deceased.
