BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbian opposition politicians scuffled with police as they blocked entry to a court building on Wednesday in protest at the time it is taking to bring those responsible for a deadly train station roof collapse this month to justice.

The recently-renovated roof of the train station in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad collapsed on Nov. 1, killing 14 and injuring three. On Sunday one of the injured died, bringing number of those killed to 15.
