Nova.rs: Criminal charges against Vesić because the station building was opened even though certain works were in progress

The criminal complaint against Goran Vesić, the former Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of Serbia, was filed because the station building of the Railway Station in Novi Sad was opened even though certain works were still in progress, and the Department of the Republic's Construction Inspection was not informed about this, Nova writes. .rs.

Vesić was remanded in custody due to the fall of the canopy of the Railway Station in Novi Sad, which killed 15 people and seriously injured two others. He was detained on Thursday, and on Saturday, after the hearing, he was remanded in custody for up to 30 days.

The building of the Railway Station has been renovated on several occasions, and although the authorities have claimed since the tragedy in Novi Sad that the canopy has not been reconstructed, judging by the criminal complaint against the suspects, some work has been done on it, according to the Nova.rs portal.

The roof of the Railway Station in Novi Sad collapsed on November 1, killing 14 people, and last Sunday, the 15th victim succumbed to serious injuries.

Today, after six days of hunger strike, Vesić was transferred to the hospital due to a sudden deterioration in his health.

As the portal Danas unofficially announced, he was sent by ambulance to the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases of Vojvodina for further care.

The warden of the District Prison in Novi Sad, Mile Jandric, told Danas that Vesic complained that he felt bad during the night.

"The doctors from the ward examined him and turned to the judge for preliminary proceedings. They wrote an instruction, the judge accepted it and Vesić was transferred and kept in the Department of Intensive Care and Coronary Care in Kamenica," said Jandric.

Vesić was arrested on November 21, along with 11 other people, due to the fall of the canopy at the Novi Sad Railway Station.

Although he wrote on social networks that he was not arrested but that he reported himself to the police, he went on hunger strike on the same day, despite the pleas of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić not to do so. The warden of the District Prison in Novi Sad, Mile Jandrić, previously stated that Vesić's life was not in danger.
