The prosecution has charged them with enabling the use of Wing B of the station building despite the facility not having an occupancy permit, failing to maintain the structure, and negligence during the design and renovation phases of the station.

The Prosecutor’s Office proposed to the Higher Court in Novi Sad that all defendants be remanded in custody due to the great public disturbance that could endanger the fairness of the proceedings, and for some defendants also due to the risk of repeat offenses.

It was further proposed that the court award property claims to the injured parties, impose bans on professional activity, and oblige the defendants to reimburse the costs of the criminal proceedings.

"The indictment is fully supported by evidence," the Prosecutor’s Office stated, adding that it expects the indictment to soon enter into legal force, after which a public trial and the presentation of evidence by both prosecution and defense would follow.
