Associated Press

NOVI SAD, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of people lit candles and left flowers on Saturday to commemorate 14 people who were killed when a concrete canopy crashed at the entrance of a railway station in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad. Holding white papers with the names of the victims — the youngest of whom was a 6-year-old girl — residents of Novi Sad stood quietly in grief across the street from the station building where the roof fell on people on Friday. Serbia’s government declared Saturday a day of mourning as officials promised a thorough investigation into Friday’s collapse. Prosecutors said they are questioning all the people involved, including government ministers.
