# Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse investigation > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/novi-sad-railway-station-canopy-collapse-investigation > Updated: 2026-10-25T21:46:50.000Z. Sources: 65. Developments: 2. Following the November 1, 2024, canopy collapse at the Novi Sad railway station that killed 16 people, legal and social efforts to secure accountability have continued. In judicial proceedings, the High Court in Novi Sad extended the house arrest of four suspects—Jelena Tanasković, Milan Spremić, Marina Gavrilović, and Dejan Todorović—for an additional three months. However, the court did not extend similar restrictions for former Minister of Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure Goran Vesić or his former deputy, Anita Dimoski, a decision defense attorneys have criticized as creating an “unequal position between the defendants.” On the social front, Dijana Hrka, whose son was among the victims, has called for the punishment of those she holds responsible, specifically naming Aleksandar Vučić, Zorana Mihajlović, and Milorad Dodik. Following the preliminary results of Serbia’s parliamentary elections, which showed a victory for the Studentska Lista, Hrka described the outcome as a “victory for all citizens and their children.” In the wake of the Studentska Lista’s projected victory, dozens of citizens and students, including Hrka, entered the Belgrade offices of the Informer television station on October 26, 2026. The demonstrators sought to confront editor-in-chief Dragan J. Vučićević regarding the station’s media coverage of the tragedy and subsequent protests, demanding a public apology. During the incident, Vučićević characterized the situation as a “hostage crisis” and requested police intervention. Reports indicated that protesters struck windows and doors while security personnel evacuated the editor and staff from the studio. ## Claims - Protesters entered the offices of the Informer television station in Belgrade.
