At least two people were hospitalised with serious injuries after the incident in the town of Novi Sad.
At least eight people have been killed after a concrete roof above the entrance of a railway station in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad collapsed.
At least two other people were hospitalised with serious injuries on Friday, Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said.
The minister said rescuers were in contact with two people who were still trapped beneath the rubble.
“The operation is still ongoing and extremely challenging. Over 80 rescuers are involved, with the assistance of heavy machinery,” he added.
Ambulances and other emergency teams were dispatched to the downtown station and bulldozers were removing the debris looking for survivors.
