Protesters demand arrests over train station roof collapse that killed 14 people in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Angry protesters have left red handprints in front of government buildings in the Serbian capital to demand the arrest of officials, two days after a concrete canopy collapsed at a railway station, killing 14 people and injuring three. Police formed a cordon outside the seat of the government’s Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure in central Belgrade as several thousand people called for ministers to step down immediately.
