Serbia court drops case against ex-minister over train station disaster

  • The prosecution plans to appeal the court's decision, arguing that 'the evidence collected clearly established reasonable suspicion against all defendants'.
  • Vesic remains under house arrest in a separate investigation concerning the financial aspects of the accident, as protests continue demanding accountability.
