Goran Vesić started a hunger strike

Resigned minister Goran Vesić, who has been in custody since yesterday, has started a hunger strike. After the information that appeared in the media that Goran Vesić was among those arrested due to the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, Vesić announced on network X.

"I was not arrested, I voluntarily responded to the call of the police officers with whom I came to Novi Sad and made myself available to the investigative authorities so that all the circumstances that led to the accident in Novi Sad could be fully investigated. As it was the case in the past, I will always be available to the competent authorities and I will prove that I bear no criminal responsibility for these tragic events. The law office that represents me in this case will communicate with the public and the media about the further development of the event," wrote Goran Vesić.

As a reminder, the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad announced yesterday that a total of 11 people were arrested and detained due to the roof collapse in Novi Sad, in which 15 people died when the canopy fell at the Novi Sad Railway Station.

Let's recall that Goran Vesić resigned from the post of Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure.

Jelena Tanasković, acting general director of the joint-stock company "Serbian Railway Infrastructure", resigned from this position yesterday.

Some time before Jelena Tanasković, Tomislav Momirović also submitted his resignation.
