President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, honored the memory of young girls Sara and Valentina and their grandfather Djordje Firic at the cemetery in Kovil. The three lost their lives in an accident in Novi Sad, where a shelter at the railway station collapsed.

“It has been seven days since the horrible tragedy in Novi Sad. The grief of families who lost their loved ones is indescribable. We, the citizens of Serbia, mourn for the fourteen victims,” wrote President Vucic on Instagram.

“This morning, I was at the saddest place in Serbia, where six-year-old Sara, ten-year-old Valentina, and fifty-three-year-old Djordje were laid to rest. The sorrow of parents for their children, the cries of a sister for her brother, pierced the skies over Kovil this morning,” Vucic wrote.

President Vucic expressed gratitude to the President of the Serbian National Assembly, Ana Brnabic, and the Mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Djuric, for joining him. On behalf of the state of Serbia and personally, he once again expressed condolences to all the families of the victims in Novi Sad.

On November 1, at the railway station in Novi Sad, 14 people lost their lives, and three were seriously injured when a shelter collapsed.
