Parents of Vladislav Ribnikar School Shooter Receive Lengthy Prison Sentences
The judge of the High Court in Belgrade delivered a verdict at the Palace of Justice against Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanovic, the parents of the boy who committed the crime at the Vladislav Ribnikar Primary School.
Vladimir was sentenced to 14.5 years in prison, Miljana to three years, while the shooting range instructor received a 15-month sentence for giving false testimony.
Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanovic are the parents of the boy who, on May 3, 2023, at the Vladislav Ribnikar Primary School, used a pistol to kill nine students and a school security guard, injuring five other students and a history teacher.
The trial was closed to the public from the beginning, but the verdict was announced publicly.
The Chief Public Prosecutor of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, Nenad Stefanovic, stated that the prosecution would appeal to the Appellate Court regarding the acquittal of Miljana Kecmanović on certain charges, as well as the length of the sentences handed down to Vladimir Kecmanovic and Nemanja Marinkovic, the shooting range instructor.
"We proved the parents' guilt and demonstrated that their gross neglect of the child and improper firearm storage led to this unprecedented tragedy. I am particularly satisfied that the court imposed maximum sentences on both Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanovic for the crime of neglect and abuse of a minor," Stefanovic emphasized in a statement released by the prosecutor's office.
However, he noted that only maximum sentences for the other charges the accused face would be adequate, given the severity of the consequences of their actions.
The defense attorneys have also announced they will appeal the verdict.
The father of one of the murdered girls, Andjelko Acimovic, commented that justice had been partially served, stating that even a life sentence would be too lenient for the Kecmanovic family, while the parents of the victims are left to grieve forever.
Ognjen Bozovic, the families’ attorney, stated that while they are legally satisfied with the verdict, no sanction can deliver justice or true redress to the families, as no one has been convicted for the massacre itself.

TRAŽIM REČ (R)
Tokom proteklih godinu dana zajedno smo „tražili smo reč“ i u vremenu koje karakteriše reč “brzo“ odabrali smo da stanemo, da slušamo, da tražimo reč za teme o kojima se ćuti, za ljude koje često ne primećujemo i za pitanja koja nemaju jednostavne odgovore. Čuli smo mnoge mudre misli i ispričali mnoge zanimljive priče. Ovo je kolaž onih priča koje zaslužuju vašu pažnju.

SINTEZA (R)
U vremenu kada se sve brzo menja – ljudi, tehnologija, pa i naše navike – postavlja se jedno staro, ali nikad važnije pitanje: koliko smo danas zaista humani i solidarni? Solidarnost se ne vidi samo u velikim gestovima. Ona počinje u svakodnevici: kada neko pomogne komšiji da ponese kese, ode po lekove za stariju osobu, volontira, brine. Ipak, sve češće živimo zatvoreni u svoje krugove, bombardovani vestima o krizama i nepravdama, pa postajemo ravnodušni. Taj „umor saosećanja“, kako ga psiholozi nazivaju, postaje nova bolest savremenog društva. A opet, ima onih koji svakog dana dokazuju da empatija nije nestala – volonteri i humanitarne organizacije. Oni se ne pitaju kome pomažu, već kako da pomognu. Pitanje ostaje: da li solidarnost doživljavamo kao trenutni impuls ili kao trajnu vrednost koju gradimo zajedno? Pomažemo li samo „svojima“, ili svakome kome je pomoć potrebna? Od odgovora na ta pitanja, koja ću postaviti predsedniku Crvenog krsta Srbije prof. dr Draganu „Gagi“ Radovanoviću, zavisi koliko smo kao društvo spremni da se nosimo sa krizama i koliko ćemo u svemu tome ostati ljudi.
