(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, NOV 19 - Several Serbian opposition MPs blocked Novi Sad's prosecutor's office and courts Tuesday demanding progress in the investigation into the collapse of the city railway station in which 15 people died. The concrete roof at the Novi Sad station collapsed on November 1. Fourteen people, aged between six and 74, died at the scene and one person died in hospital on Sunday. Doctors are fighting to save the lives of two of the injured. The collapse happened months after the completion of prolonged renovation work carried out by Chinese, Hungarian and French companies. None have commented and the disaster has stirred the anger of people across the country who see the deaths as a consequence of rampant corruption.
