Journalist Vuk Cvijić has raised serious questions about the investigation into the collapse of a canopy at the Belgrade railway station, a case being handled by the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade. Cvijić, writing for the weekly Radar, suggested that the indictment in the "Canopy" case may not tell the whole story.
Cvijić pointed to evidence, specifically emails, that he claims establish a link between one of the individuals indicted and the office of the Serbian President. This alleged connection, if proven, could have significant implications for the investigation and the broader political context surrounding the incident.
