TABNAK, Nov, 03 :“We offer our condolences to families of the victims,” he said in a message.
Serbia has wound up a rescue operation and opened an investigation into a railway station roof collapse in the southern city of Novi Sad, as mourners gathered to pay tribute to the 14 victims and three injured.
The disaster happened on Friday when a length of roofing along the entrance to the station collapsed.
Rescuers using heavy construction machinery worked through the night to free the dead and wounded from under the rubble. Serbian authorities declared on Saturday a national day of mourning.
Thousands of people attended a vigil and protest in Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city.
In a televised address late on Friday Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić promised justice and demanded harsh punishment for those responsible.
However, Serbian experts pointed out to domestic media that the renovation work might have caused a structural change to the building, indirectly resulting in the roof's collapse.
