A Serbian higher court on Wednesday released former minister Goran Vesic, who had been detained last Thursday in connection with the collapse of a railway station roof that killed 15 people and sparked a wave of protests.

The deadly collapse of a concrete roof at a rail station in Serbia has raised tensions across the Balkan county, fueling widespread anger toward the government and protests after the failure claimed 15 lives in the northern city of Novi Sad.
