The family of the boy who took part in the incident at the "Štampar Makarije" Elementary School in Podgorica claims that the problem with the family of his school friend was resolved three days ago.
In their reaction, they stated that as parents they take responsibility for the reckless and wrong move of their child.
"For which we sincerely regret," he wrote in the reaction.
They also add that the problem with his school friend's family was resolved three days ago.
"That's when the families were reconciled and everything that was a problem at that moment was settled. Then we and they, primarily as parents, admitted that we were aware of our children's problems. That's when we parted with a hand extended to each other. From that days we had no contact. Until yesterday morning, when we received an invitation for another reconciliation, where our children were met with sticks/truncheons. We left it to the authorities to determine who was responsible for yesterday's savagery, in which a total of five children were attacked The competent authorities are also aware of the threats that our child received years ago, because of which he never reacted by filing reports, it is stated.

The director of Elementary School "Štampar Makarije" Novica Gačević told Parents.me that according to the information they received from other students, the reason was that the boy somehow got hold of the girl's mobile phone, from where he downloaded the photos, which he later blackmailed.
"He asked her for money for that, and as we found out she gave him a certain amount to avoid him publishing those photos or sending them to someone. We heard that the girl's father, when he found out about it, asked him to delete the photos and return the money, but he did not do that," Gačević said.
The boy's family also denied this.
"So, it is not true that our child refused to return the money and that he continued with the provocations. All this was presented in detail at the police hearing," he wrote in the response.
Gačević also said that the boy had previously had problematic behavior, which the family also denied.
"The school management informed us yesterday that it is not true that they labeled our child as problematic, and that you also published it. We believe that you recklessly published that information and that you did not aim to cause us additional damage in this, for all of us , in a difficult moment anyway. With the hope that we will all contribute more to the suppression of violence among all our children, and to which we, the parents of a seriously injured son, will primarily pay much more attention," the response states.
