The UAE has expressed solidarity with Serbia after a train station tragedy killed 14 people and injured three others.

At least two children were among the dead in Novi Sad after the roof of a train station collapsed on Friday. Rescue workers worked late into the night, using heavy construction equipment, to remove the dead and injured from the rubble.

Serbian authorities completed the rescue operation and opened an investigation on Saturday.

The UAE expressed its condolences to the Serbian government and its people, especially to the families of the victims.




Serbia has declared Saturday a national day of mourning.

The University Clinical Center (UKC) in Novi Sad said in a statement that the three injured remained in intensive care.

On Saturday morning, people brought flowers and toys and lit candles near the campsite. Workers were clearing away the last of the rubble.
