Rail traffic between Belgrade and Novi Sad resumed at about 02:00 on 31 July after an overnight halt caused by a field fire near the tracks. Srbijavoz said the disruption between Batajnica and Beška had ended; passengers reported evening delays in Nova Pazova and Beška.
On the evening of July 26, a car drove into a column of people during a Bačka Palanka protest walk supporting students. N1 reports eyewitness accounts of two people lightly injured; emergency services attended and traffic police intervened after the vehicle stopped.
One of the two seriously injured people died after the explosion in a Starčevo home's yard, bringing the death toll to two. Police and the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Pančevo continue to establish the circumstances and cause.
The Belgrade Appeals Court again annulled confirmation of the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor's indictment over the Novi Sad station canopy collapse that killed 16 people, returning the matter to the Belgrade Higher Court. This is separate from the Novi Sad proceeding, where the local Appeals Court recently confirmed an indictment.
Serbia's Interior Ministry emergency sector told Kurir that more than 17,000 emergencies have been recorded this year, including about 12,500 fires and almost 7,500 in open areas. It urged people not to burn grass, low vegetation, or crop residue, and not to light fires in or at the edge of forests.
N1 reports that the Higher Court in Belgrade has lifted custody for former Belgrade police chief Veselin Milic and that he has already left Central Prison, meaning he will defend himself from freedom in the next phase. In N1's reporting and the lawyers' comments carried there, the case has narrowed to the failure-to-report branch around the killing of Aleksandar Nešović at restaurant 27 in Senjak, while critics tie the release to the fact that evidentiary actions on that branch are exhausted and that the investigation has already been seriously compromised.
