Interior Minister Ivica Dacic stated, 'When we had eight victims, we knew that there were five more people under the rubble for whom we could not establish whether they were alive or dead.' This chilling confirmation highlighted the gravity of the incident so early in the rescue efforts.
Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic described the event as 'a black Friday for us, for all of Serbia.' He expressed a strong commitment to accountability, stating that 'We will insist on finding those responsible, those who should have ensured the structure's safety.'
Following the collapse, the Blood Transfusion Institute in Novi Sad called on residents to donate blood, indicating the need for urgent medical assistance as recovery efforts were underway.
Despite the recent renovation of the Novi Sad Railway Station, with only three years of work completed and reopening just in July, it was unclear what caused the roof's collapse. Serbian media clarified that this specific roof was not part of the renovation.
