NOVI SAD, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of people lit candles and left flowers and toys on Saturday to commemorate 14 people who were killed when a concrete canopy crashed at the entrance of a railway station in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad.
Holding signs with names of the victims - the youngest of whom was a 6-year-old girl - residents of Novi Sad stood quietly in grief across the street from the station building where the roof fell on people on Friday.
Many were quietly crying and those who came said they were unable to comprehend how such a tragedy was possible and demanded answers from the authorities. Three people were also injured and remained in a life-threatening condition on Saturday.
“My first feeling was anger because we allow amateurs to run this country,” said Natasa Beljic. "And because I am aware of the fact that no one will be held accountable and that responsibility will fall on completely irrelevant people.”
