Another Serbian minister, Tomislav Momirovic has resigned following the widespread outrage over a train station accident that killed 15.

The trade minister, who resigned on Wednesday, was the second cabinet member to step down as the government faces criticisms.

The station roof collapse on November 1 in the northern city of Novi Sad — which followed lengthy renovation work.

It has fuelled nationwide anger, with many blaming the deaths on rampant corruption and lax oversight of construction projects.

Protesters have demanded the resignation of the prime minister and the mayor of Novi Sad along with the prosecution of officials responsible for the tragedy, with construction minister Goran Vesic resigning shortly afterwards.

Momirovic, who is leaving his position as Minister of Trade, served as Vesic’s predecessor from 2020 to 2022, the period in which the renovations began.

Momirovic’s resignation on Wednesday was swiftly followed by that of Serbia Railway Infrastructure’s acting general director Jelena Tanaskovic.
