A dozen people, including a former cabinet minister, were arrested in Serbia late on Thursday.

Axar.az reports that, citing DW, the move by prosecutors follows three weeks of angry protests over a fatal accident at Novi Sad's main railway station.

Ex-Construction Minister Goran Vesic has denied he was apprehended, saying he "voluntarily responded" to police.

The opposition Green-Left Front hailed the news, saying, "those who portrayed themselves as untouchable (are) now trembling before justice, thanks to the pressure from citizens, the opposition, protests, and blockade."

It should be noted that on November 1, glass canopy roofing crumbled and fell on bystanders in the busy station in Serbia's second city. Fifteen people were killed and two were severely injured.
