NPS: Authorities have not fulfilled promises made after the mass murder at Ribnikar
The Niš committee of the People's Movement of Serbia (NPS) assessed today that the representatives of the authorities have not fulfilled the promises regarding the safety of children in schools, which they gave to the citizens after the mass murder at the Belgrade elementary school "Vladislav Ribnikar".
TL;DR
- The NPS claims authorities failed to uphold promises on school safety after the "Vladislav Ribnikar" mass murder.
- Measures such as increased police presence in schools have been reduced or eliminated once public attention waned.
- Schools lack adequate psychologists, pedagogues, and social workers, placing a burden on teachers.
- The resignation of the former Minister of Education was the only visible political consequence, with no deeper analysis or significant systemic reforms.
- The public has not received clear, measurable data on what actions were taken, their results, and if schools are safer.
- The NPS insists that children's safety should not depend on media attention or temporary political actions.
- The article notes that three years after the tragedy, people gathered to commemorate the victims at the school.
