According to the mayor of Belgrade during the construction, Slobodanka Gruden, one of the financiers was a would-be banker Dafina Milanović, head of one of the largest pyramid schemes in Serbia.

The section spread from the station to the Technical faculties across the Ruzveltova and consisted of the upper layer with the carriageways above it.

After the first rain, water came through the protective layer, flooding the shops in the commercial zone and all attempts to fix the problem from the inside failed.

Simeunović pointed out that the excellent opportunity to fix the problem was the massive reconstruction of Ruzveltova in 2017, but the protective layer of the station remained as it was.

The escalators are in bad shape and out of use for years, the numerous shops, intended for the commercial venues, are mostly empty while the slabs on the plateau above it also deteriorated.

[5] In April 2022, state railway company announced that some minor repairs were conducted, and that €3 million were allocated for the incoming, full reconstruction.

[7][8] Serbian Railways responded that the task is "extremely big and complex" and that spare parts are hard to find as the manufacturer is the Russian "Eskalator" factory from Saint Petersburg.

[7][8] The Vukov Spomenik railway station, has faced significant safety concerns related to fire protection and the transport of hazardous materials.

Since July 2018, trains carrying dangerous cargo like flammable liquids and acids have passed through the Vračar Railway Tunnel, which includes the station, despite lacking safety measures.

Additionally, firefighting teams lacked proper equipment for intervention, posing severe risks during incidents.

The station is embellished with several reliefs, including one called "Belgrade since the time of despot Stefan", and Cyrillic letters.
