Can the opposition enter the Cabinet of Ministers and who benefits from such actions?

The canopy of the railway station collapsed in the city of Novi Sad on November 1 last year. The Serbian authorities declared November 2 a day of mourning for the victims.

After the incident, on November 4, 2024, the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of Serbia Goran Vesic decided to leave his post. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in the same month that this resignation was "just the beginning" and that a series of dismissals would take place in the country in the near future.
