The protest scheduled for November 5 will be held despite the resignation of Goran Vesić, the Novi Sad opposition stated in a statement. They also demand the resignation of the mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Đurić, and the prime minister, Miloš Vučević, as well as the arrest of those responsible for the accident in Novi Sad.
Despite resignations of the Minister of Construction, traffic and infrastructure Goran Vesić due to the accident that happened on Friday at the railway station in Novi Sad, when the canopy in front of the entrance collapsed and killed 14 people, the Novi Sad opposition says that the protest scheduled for November 5 at 18 pm will be held.
In a joint statement, the opposition councilor groups in the Assembly of the City of Novi Sad welcomed, as they stated, the "forced resignation" of Minister Vesić, but added that they do not give up on fulfilling all demands, namely the resignations of the Mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Đurić, and the President of the Government of Serbia Miloš Vučević.
In addition to resignations, the Novi Sad opposition demands the arrest and punishment of those directly responsible for the omissions and negligence of state officials. They note that they will not give up on the demand that the complete contract with the Chinese company, which is hidden from the public, be disclosed to the public - as this would reveal who the subcontractors are, how they were chosen - and at what price.
"The authorities are mistaken if they think that the forced resignation of Goran Vesić will absolve them of responsibility for the loss of 14 lives and appease the citizens. The tragic victims of arrogance, arrogance, and corrupt actions, namely our fellow citizens who lost their lives, oblige us not to give up the demand for systemic changes and the political responsibility of all actors", they stated.
In the signature of the announcement, there are HOPE for Novi Sad - New DSS - POKS, Kreni prameni - Novi Sad, Serbia Center - BRAVO Novi Sad, the National Movement of Serbia - Ecological Uprising, the Party of Freedom and Justice and the Movement for Reversal, the Democratic Party, the Movement of Free Citizens and Green Left Front and councilor of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina - VOJVOĐANI.
Vucevic from China: No one escapes responsibility
The announcement of the Novi Sad opposition was preceded by an extraordinary press conference of Minister Goran Vesić, where he announced that he was resigning - stressing, at the same time, that he does not feel responsible for the accident in Novi Sad, but that he is stepping down from his position for moral reasons.
Vesić thus became, for now, the only official who resigned, three days after the accident at the Novi Sad railway station. Despite the call, head and chin, of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, that those responsible bear political and criminal responsibility.
In the meantime, in the midst of three days of mourning, Prime Minister Miloš Vučević he traveled to China, from where he said that "no one escapes responsibility".
"But you cannot talk rationally in an atmosphere of a hunt and a search for someone's head to be presented as a victim." There is no basis for rational conversation. If someone's head is sought in order to appease the holy, then it is not a question of responsibility, it is a question of a chase, and responsibility is a question of political approach and understanding of the work you are doing," said the Prime Minister of Serbia, as reported by portal 021.
Opposition in front of the Government building
On the eve of Vesić's conference, the parliamentary opposition gathered in front of the Serbian Government building, along with some citizens. They paid their respects to the victims and lit candles.
And on that occasion, the representatives of the parliamentary opposition invited the citizens to come to a protest in Novi Sad on Tuesday, November 5, at 18 p.m., writes Danas.
The President and MP of the National Movement of Serbia, Miroslav Aleksić, said that the opposition was in front of the Government building to pay respect to the victims in Novi Sad, but also to send a message to the members of the Government of Serbia, which he called the "canopy of Serbia", that on the fourth day after the tragedy, no one was arrested or detained.
DS leader Zoran Lutovac said that the two key words are responsibility and solidarity and that citizens must show solidarity for an organized state.
