Three months after the mass murders in the Belgrade Elementary School "Vladislav Ribnikar" in Vračar and in the villages around Mladenovac, when 19 children and a school guard were killed, only four people were sanctioned, three of whom were punished with a 20 percent reduction in salary.
The psychologist, pedagogue and secretary of the elementary school "Vladislav Ribnikar", where nine students and a guard were killed, were sanctioned with a two-month reduction in salary in the amount of 20 percent, while the school director Snežana Knežević was dismissed from her duties at the suggestion of the educational inspection.
Educator Jelena Vujičić was fined for "failure to implement safety measures for children, students and employees, as well as non-execution or negligent, untimely or negligent execution of tasks or orders of the director during work".
Psychologist Lidija Maksić was charged with a serious violation of discipline, but only in the article of the law that refers to non-execution or negligent execution of the director's order.
The secretary of the school, Nevena Pavlović, was subject to disciplinary action due to established omissions in compliance with the article of the Law on the Basics of the Education and Training System, which regulates the duties of the secretary.
For now, the moral and objective responsibility was borne only by the former Minister of Education Branko Ružić. He offered his resignation to Prime Minister Ana Brnabić already on May 4, but she was refused until May 7, when Ružić submitted his irrevocable resignation from the post of minister.
Veselin Milić, the head of the Police Administration for the City of Belgrade, offered his resignation after the tragic events, but, as Milić told the opposition representatives, his superiors rejected the offer.
Hundreds of thousands of Serbian citizens who have been participating in anti-violence protests since May 8 have made seven demands to the authorities with the aim of stopping violence in society, but so far none of the demands have been fulfilled.
Citizens demanded the dismissal of the management of RTS, as well as members of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM).
It was stated that RTS does not report objectively, and that in the last year and a half, REM has not imposed any measures on televisions with a national frequency that "promote violence and hate speech" in their programs.
On May 10, the president of REM, Olivera Zekić, assessed the citizens' request for dismissal as "political".
The request for confiscating the national frequencies of the Pink and Happy televisions was not adopted either, "because those televisions serve citizens, poison, and promote violence."
The representatives of those television stations did not publicly announce the allegations.
One of the demands from the "Serbia against violence" protest, which was also not adopted, is the cancellation of reality shows and other programs that promote violence.
In the reality programs, as it was said, there were several cases of violence, and the participants were also convicted of serious crimes.
The owner of TV Pink, Željko Mitrović, said on May 25 that he would cancel "Zadruga" on the recommendation of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Mitrović wrote on Twitter that the assessment of the president of the country is more important than the interest of Pink TV and his personal interest, however later he changed his mind and announced the continuation of "Zadruga" in the fall.
The request to shut down tabloids "that propagate violence and violate the journalistic code and ethics" was not adopted either.
Citizens pointed out at the protests that "tabloids promote violence and can be held responsible for the tragic events in Serbia."
They assessed that tabloids that "target people", "spread fake news" and "promote violence" should not be published in Serbia.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, has repeatedly said that the request to dismiss Police Minister Bratislav Gašić, whose resignation or dismissal is also demanded, along with the resignation or dismissal of the director of the Security Information Agency (BIA), Aleksandar Vulin, will never be fulfilled.
Vučić commented on these requests as "proof" that those who ask for it "have no idea" what their job is.
"What the police didn't do, so it's not their job to act preventively but repressively. The BIA and the MUP did everything flawlessly," said Vučić on national television.
The Council of Parents of Elementary School "Vladislav Ribnikar" asked Prime Minister Ana Brnabić to determine the responsibility of all persons who publicly published a list with the names of students, whom the juvenile murderer KK allegedly planned to kill.
Although Brnabić promised her parents that this would be determined as soon as possible, the government has not yet fulfilled that request.
Yesterday, the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office (VJT) informed the Internal Control Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that there were no elements of any criminal offense within the jurisdiction of the VJT in the actions of the Chief of the Police Department for the City of Belgrade, Veselin Milić, on May 3, and instructed the Department of Internal Control to contact the First basic public prosecutor's office in Belgrade.
On May 3, at a press conference, in the presence of Police Minister Bratislava Gašić, Chief Milić showed a list containing the names of students whom, he said, KK planned to kill.
Milić showed a sketch of the school and a list of children, which KK, as he stated, made himself and determined the priority targets. On that list, you could see who all KK, according to Milić, was planning to kill, which caused great anxiety for the children and their families.
As a measure to suppress violence, the Government of Serbia organized an action to surrender weapons from May 8 to June 30.
Police Major Bojana Otović Pjanović stated on July 1 that 108.883 weapons and mine-explosive devices were handed over in the action of handing over legal and illegal weapons.
The National Association for Weapons of Serbia (NAOS) announced that the measures of the Government of Serbia after the tragic events in "Ribnikar" and Mladenovac do not lead to solving the problem and increasing the safety of citizens.
"We believe that these measures are basically populist and that they introduce additional mistrust and legal uncertainty among citizens. Unfortunately, after every extraordinary event caused by the misuse of weapons, the owners of legal weapons are under attack. The fact that about 95 percent of criminal offenses caused by misuse is often overlooked of weapons occurs with weapons in illegal possession, and only about one percent with weapons in legal possession," said NAOS.
On July 18, an Inquiry Committee was formed in the Serbian Parliament to determine the facts and circumstances that led to two mass murders.
However, three days later, the President of the Serbian Parliament, Vladimir Orlić, suspended the work of the Inquiry Committee after the request of the representatives of the families of the victims of crimes in the Belgrade Elementary School "Vladislav Ribnikar".
Previously, lawyer Zora Dobričanin Nikodinović stated that the request to suspend the work of the Inquiry Committee was sent to the addresses of the President and Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić and Ana Brnabić, Speaker of Parliament Vladimir Orlić, Minister of Justice Maja Popović, Republic Public Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac, President of the High Council of Prosecution Branko Stamenković and President of the Supreme Court Jasmine Vasović.
