While many students use free school transport, Lara and her friends from Tološ don't have it at all. They can't even walk to school because, they say, the streets are unsafe.
"Cars come quickly and we have nowhere to hide nearby, so I'm afraid to go alone," explains Lara, which was followed by Novak and Vjera.
"I can't go alone because when I'm on the second shift it's dark, I can't do anything, the cars are going fast and they're going to run over us," said Novak.
"It's a very scary street, I wouldn't be able to go here alone because I'm very scared," said Vjera.
Their parents are forced to fend for themselves, so, they say, sometimes the neighbors organize themselves.
"I am the mother of two girls who go to elementary school, in different shifts, and I came to a situation where, because we do not have any systemic support from the Capital City, the Secretariat for Traffic, from "Roads", but who is in charge - I have to leave my job to so that my children could achieve the constitutionally guaranteed right to basic education," said Milanka Janičić, a resident of Tološ.
"We are forced to manage in various ways, from taking and bringing under our direction to some private arrangements," says Mirko Janičić.
They addressed the authorities, they point out, and as one of the reasons for the lack of organized transportation through the town of Sadine, they gave the parents a narrow face.
The Capital City did not respond to TV News' questions until the broadcast of this report.
"The Ministry has sent letters to school principals, they should do a survey with students to list the names of each child, to find addresses, to make some kind of identification and based on that number to make a timetable for transportation. What will it take? - What, I guess it cannot be resolved so quickly," Mirko Janičić pointed out.
Until then, they say, they can only hope that employers will be understanding about daily departures from work in order to take their children to school carefree.
