Reports on Saturday said that an environmental disaster had also occurred as the oil spilled into the river from the damaged boats. It also transpired that all seven crew members on the Austrian boat are Serbian nationals. None of them were hurt in the accident, but they now face an investigation. Serbian ministries with jurisdiction in the matter are offering legal assistance to the sailors, as unofficial results of the probe indicate that the Serb crew did not cause the collision.
