  • A court in Serbia is set to rule on the parents of a student who committed a mass shooting at a Belgrade school in May 2023.
  • The mother of one of the murdered girls stated that justice will only be served when the perpetrator of the mass murder is held accountable.
  • The legal proceedings are not expected to bring the sense of justice that the victims' families seek.

A court in Serbia is expected to deliver a verdict on the parents of the student responsible for the mass shooting at the Vladislav Ribnikar elementary school in May 2023. The tragedy claimed the lives of nine students and a security guard.

The mother of Ana, one of the murdered girls, expressed that true justice remains elusive. "Justice will be served when someone is held accountable for the mass murder," she stated, emphasizing that the current legal proceedings cannot provide the closure the victims' families are seeking.

Legal experts suggest that the parents could face charges related to negligence and potentially aiding and abetting, depending on the evidence presented. The focus remains on whether they were aware of their son's mental state and his access to firearms. The outcome of the trial is highly anticipated, with many hoping it will shed light on the circumstances leading up to the devastating event.

Justice will be served when someone is held accountable for the mass murder.
