Overview
In a landmark case, a Belgrade court sentenced Vladimir Kecmanovic to 14.5 years and Miljana Kecmanovic to 3 years for neglecting their son who fatally shot nine peers and a school guard. The parents were found guilty due to their failure to secure weapons, while the 13-year-old shooter remains unprosecuted due to age restrictions. The convictions come amid significant public pressure in Serbia following the tragic May 2023 incident, leading to widespread protests and demands for tighter gun control laws.
