”Today we are here for one reason which is very simple. To pay respect to the victims who were, I would say, brutally killed. Corruption in this country has been killing for some time and this is the moment when we all have to stand by each other.”

STORYLINE:
Protesters in Serbia stood in silence for 15 minutes on Friday for the victims of a roof collapse of a railway building on November 1 in Novi Sad.
The demonstrators, who were protesting in Belgrade, are seeking to keep up pressure on authorities to account for the tragedy.
Traffic was blocked for a fourth week in a row at various spots in several Serbian cities and towns.
Initially, 14 people died and three were injured but one more person later died in hospital.
The railway station building was renovated twice in recent years.
Many in Serbia believe rampant corruption and opaque deals resulted in sloppy work during reconstruction and led to the collapse of the roof.
