Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević said today that much is unknown about the accident in Novi Sad in which 14 people died when the canopy of the railway station fell on them, as well as that there are many conflicting opinions from people in the profession.

Vucevic, who is currently staying in Shanghai, said that a lot is unknown and that no one has all the data, because it is a very complex issue.

"The investigation is in the hands of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office and the police, and hearings have begun, of all those the prosecution sees in the chain of decision-making regarding the works at the Railway Station," he told reporters.

He stated that there must be political responsibility and that he had spoken with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and that this is not questionable, only that he will make that decision with a cool head and rationally.

Commenting on the posters with his image, the images of ministers Tomislav Momirović and Goran Vesić, with the message "Corruption kills - you will answer", which appeared in four locations in Novi Sad, he said that it was not time for political answers.

"The days of mourning in Novi Sad itself are certainly very difficult days for the families of the dead. And it is a tragedy. It is scandalous that someone calls this a murder. You have to be a monster to say that someone killed those people," said Vucevic.

When asked if the inspection of some other facilities operated by the same company had begun, he answered in the affirmative, but added that an "anti-Chinese hunt" had begun and that he would never be a part of it.

"Now we need to arrest all representatives of Chinese companies? And we don't even know who did what. This is a serious warning to all those involved in that profession that more frequent controls and surveillance of all facilities must be carried out," he said.

Vučević also stated that the engineers of that country said in the Croatian media that such a tragedy could happen in Croatia as well, because many buildings were built at the same time as the railway station in Novi Sad.

"Nobody is running away from the question of responsibility, but if a manhunt is carried out and sacrifices are ritually offered, it will not be better for the families of the dead, nor will we determine what really happened. Rather, someone just wants to appease, I don't know what kind of passion either. or the desire for something, certainly nothing good," he said.
