The charge has been brought to a court in Novi Sad.

"It is accompanied by a complete documentation of the investigation as well as other evidence," it says in a statement from the prosecution authority in the northern city.

It was during rush hour on November 1st that the concrete roof at the entrance to the train station in Novi Sad collapsed. At least 15 people, one of them a six-year-old child, lost their lives.

Construction work was underway in other parts of the station area and authorities promised to investigate the cause of the roof collapse.

The accident led to nationwide demonstrations where authorities were accused of inadequate supervision and corruption.
