Kruševac started the construction of the Military Equipment Exhibition Park in Slobodiste, and Minister Milica Đurđević Stamenkovski announced that the state would invest 10 million in order to raise awareness of its importance.
There is no doubt that there will be a memorial center dedicated to the victims of crimes in "Ribnikar". But when? And, above all, what will it include and what will it look like? These are still unanswered questions, although experts say there is no need to rush
The program that will officially mark the anniversary of the mass murder in "Ribnikar" is symbolically called "Awakening". It is time to stop and look at what has changed in this year and whether the institutions have fulfilled the demands of the grieving citizens. Likewise, we need to look into each other's eyes and ask ourselves: have we really woken up?
Part of the parents of "Ribnikar" students are "deeply disturbed by the uncertainty of the fate of the school and the conditions for education" of their children. They blame the Government of Serbia for not taking into account the interests of "wounded, surviving and traumatized living children". That is why they call for a support rally on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at 19:30 p.m. in front of the school in Svetozara Markovića Street
There will be no classes in the part of the "Vladislav Ribnikar" school where the massacre took place last year. It remains to be seen exactly what kind of memorial center dedicated to the victims will be created
"Our need to do something good is related to the very sacrifice of our children. Our children are victims, but victims of what? I come to the conclusion that they are victims of this society. And then we constantly try to design that sacrifice, to give it some meaning, to be a catalyst for something better in this society. That's why we came out publicly and we find strength in that. But, when you look at the facts - no one has taken responsibility, the processes are going slowly or not at all, May 3 has been forgotten by the media... You already know the sentences that will be heard in the media, you know the one: 'Today marks five months since the tragic event... ' And that's all that will be heard…”
The memorial center was founded as a memorial complex whose role is to nurture and preserve the memory of the victims of genocide, and which, at the same time, is a kind of reminder and admonition to future generations that something like this should never happen again to anyone.
In a letter to the president, the parents stated that they were upset about the removal of the board with the name of the school without consultation, the possibility of changing the address of the school and that it was unacceptable that more than half of the school would be annexed to the Memorial Center
The decision to sell the Memorial Complex "Boško Buha" on Jabuca is equal to the decision to sell the Mileševa Monastery - a cultural asset of exceptional importance that is also located on the territory of Prijepolje
