"The only correct solution is for the competent authorities to determine individual responsibility, then for the Ministry of Education to begin the procedure of collecting damages from the parents of the children - the culprits of this incident," said the president of the Young Democrats.

Celebrating the end of one life chapter - primary education, with pyrotechnics, risking the destruction of school property, but also the lives of oneself and others, is certainly a socially dangerous behavior of our youngest, which must concern the education system, but also parents who should be role models for their children , in order to prevent the causes of such phenomena, announced the president of the Young Democrats, Mitar Paunović.

"Responsibility can be collective and it is on all of us, but guilt as well as innocence, morally and legally, is not and must not be collective. It is strictly individual and personal, and therefore the sanction must be applied to those students who are guilty of this This is supported by the public information that the students who are guilty of this incident have been identified by the Police Administration and the State Prosecutor's Office," said Paunović.

He called on the director of the Elementary School "Vlado Milić" to change her decision and "not to deny the graduation night to all students, because that would send the wrong message."

"The first - that the innocent suffer because of the actions of the responsible individuals, and the second - that the responsible individuals go through collective punishment only, which does not send an adequate message to all subsequent individuals who think of the same behavior," he adds.

The only correct solution, says Paunović, is for the competent authorities to determine individual responsibility, then for the Ministry of Education to begin the procedure of collecting damages from the parents of the children - the culprits of this incident.

"Until then, the rest of the little ones deserve to celebrate the night by which they remember their nine-year primary education. And it is up to all of us to systematically think about the prevention and causes of such behavior, imposing a sanction is the easiest, but we see that it is not a permanent solution," the announcement concludes.
