Novi Sad (Serbia), Nov 5 (AP) Protesters threw flares and red paint on the City Hall building in the Serbian city of Novi Sad in rage over last week's collapse of a concrete canopy at the railway station that killed 14 people. Police responded by firing tear gas canisters.
The protesters surrounded the building in central Novi Sad, smearing it with paint and throwing bottles and other objects despite calls by organisers to remain calm. Special police troops were deployed inside the building.
Thousands first marched through the city streets demanding that top officials step down because of the fatal outer roof collapse last Friday, including the autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic and Prime Minister Milos Vucevic. (AP)
