Serbia's PM: Inquiry Committee abolished based on request from victims' families

"It is incomprehensible that you are not interested in that request and that you continue to insist that they do not have a right to their pain. Although, you didn't listen to them even when they begged for the school year to end," the Prime Minister stated on Twitter in response to criticism from the opposition.

The comment comes after the National Assembly previously announced that it had accepted the request of the families of the victims and their lawyers in the tragedy that occurred at the "Vladislav Ribnikar" Elementary School, in which they asked the Assembly to suspend the work of the Inquiry Committee. The body was tasked with determining the facts and circumstances that led to the massacre at that school in Belgrade and near Mladenovac in early May.

The opposition argued that stopping the work of the Inquiry Committee this way is unconstitutional, because the decision supported by 193 deputies at the plenum can only be changed by the majority of the deputies in the Assembly.
