There is no right of appeal against this order for the parties or other participants in the proceedings.

“At this moment, the case is returning to the investigation phase, for the purpose of better clarification so that the validity of the indictment can be assessed,” Cetojevic emphasized. The collapse of the canopy on November 1st last year initially killed 14 people, and three others were seriously injured, two of whom later succumbed to their injuries. The indictment was filed by the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad at the end of last year.

Of the 13 suspects, ten are currently in custody, two are under house arrest, and one of them is the former acting general director of “Serbian Railways Infrastructure,” Jelena Tanaskovic. Former Minister of Construction Goran Vesic is defending himself while out of custody, after the court revoked his detention following an appeal by his defense attorney.
