**Crowd Pays Tribute to Victims in Novi Sad**
A massive crowd gathered at the Novi Sad Railway Station on Thursday to honor the people who lost their lives in a tragic accident six months ago. On November 1, a concrete awning collapsed, killing five people. In a poignant display of respect, the crowd stood in silence for 21 minutes – longer than usual – to pay tribute to the victims.
**A City in Mourning**
The event was not just a tribute to the victims but also a reflection on the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Candles were lit and flowers laid at the station, while a memorial plaque was displayed with the words “Novi Sad Remembers” and the date of the tragedy. The railway station had undergone reconstruction just six months prior, leading some officials to claim that the concrete awning had not been renovated along with the rest of the building.
**War Veterans and Students Show Solidarity**
The crowd marched from the railway station through the city center to the Freedom Bridge across the Danube River. Student monitors in yellow vests carried a wreath with a ribbon bearing the message “Students Remember.” War veterans, recognizable by their berets and identical T-shirts, laid a flower basket and saluted in respect for the victims.
**”We Didn’t Reconstruct the Awning”**
A large banner draped over a nearby billboard read “We Didn’t Reconstruction the Awning,” referencing the claims made by some officials after the tragedy. The crowd’s silence and somber atmosphere served as a reminder of the lives lost and the need for accountability in such cases.
