The parents, as they announced, want to preserve the school, the memory of the murdered friends and Dragan (the janitor), the children's right to an adequate education and provide support to the children, teachers and the school
Parents of students attending "Vladislav Ribnikar" elementary school they held a gathering of support and togetherness in front of the school in Svetozara Markovića Street, with which, as they stated in the announcement, they want to preserve the school, the memory of the murdered friends and Dragan (the janitor), the children's right to an adequate education, and provide support to the children, teachers and the school who, from May 3, 2023, "are going through a terrible, baseless media and public condemnation and persecution that causes them pain, fear, and trauma anew".
The press release was signed by Igor Đorđević, the president of the Council of Parents of Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School, and it presents the position and demands of the parents of Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School students regarding the decision of the Government of Serbia on March 8, 2024.
It is interesting that the announcement about tonight's meeting was first posted on the website of this school, only to be taken down shortly afterwards.
In addition to the parents of students from this school, its former students were also present at the meeting.
Traffic on Svetozara Marković Street is stopped.
Parent announcement
Let's remind part of the parents of "Ribnikar" students stated that they are "deeply disturbed by the uncertainty of the fate of the school and educational conditions" of their children. They blame the Government of Serbia for not taking into account the interests of "wounded, surviving and traumatized living children".
For them, "Ribnikar" is no longer a school but an execution ground, and they ask that some other children never attend classes in the school building where their children were killed. And not only for them, that opinion is also shared by some parents of children who survived the massacre.
For many others, however, "Ribnikar" should not be turned into a symbol of death, but with the preservation of the memory of the murdered students and the memorial rooms that should be built in their honor should continue to be a symbol of life in Vračar. The argument is that, with all the deepest and inexpressible sympathy for the parents of the victimized students, we should also think in the interest of the children who survived that trauma and some future generations of students, and that the part of "Ribnikar" where the mass murder took place should not be permanently and completely closed.
Contradictory decisions and messages coming from the Government and the competent ministry did not contribute to the solution of the painful situation, but only encouraged confusion and conflicts.
The student plan calls for six months of voluntary military service, better conditions for members of the military, investment in equipment and the defense industry, an investigation into early deaths and numerous other changes.
The student list is asking for an investigation into the origin of the fake document, which threatens with the confiscation of pensions and prison sentences. The Ministry of Finance confirmed that the statements in the document are false

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
