At the official press conference, several hours after the massacre, the Chief of the Belgrade Police presented the details of the pre-investigation procedure.

One of the first pieces of information from the judicial authorities was that no criminal charges could be brought against the perpetrator due to his young age.

Government of Serbia has decided to declare three days of mourning for the tragic event at the "Vladislav Ribnikar" elementary school. The full identity of the boy was revealed. His father was arrested.
The conference began with a minute of silence.

BELGRADE - Belgrade Police Chief Veselin Milic said on Wednesday the perpetrator of a deadly school shooting in downtown Belgrade this morning had planned the attack beforehand and had made a detailed plan of the school building and a list of victims.

Eight pupils and one security worker in the Belgrade elementary school Vladislav Ribnikar were killed in a mass shooting on Wednesday morning. Seven more people were injured in the attack, six pupils and a history teacher.

In the coming days in Belgrade, three girls who claim to have been the victims of sexual harassment as former students of the Petnica research station will give statements to the police.

As stated in the announcement of the Ministry of the Interior, which was forwarded to the media, Minister Aleksandar Vulin underlined at that meeting that the basic priority in the work of the Belgrade police is the safety of the citizens of Belgrade.

The prime minister said this on Wednesday during a visit to the "Euroin" factory in Kula, northern Serbia.

Brnabic pointed out that it is necessary to have a competition between the investor and a larger choice of jobs, expressing the expectation that the opening of the German investor will create new jobs in Kula, noting that new 300 jobs and new investments are coming.

It enables the connection and interaction of a large number of different devices and sensors.

Brnabic said that this was a big step forward in digitizing the country, adding that the system that was designed would enable the domestic company to sell its solutions worldwide, which would facilitate its breakthrough to foreign markets.

Belgrade police arrested three people on suspicion of jeopardizing the security of President Aleksandar Vucic after they were slammed into a motorcade, Belgrade's Beta news agency quoted Politika.rs as saying.

US ambassador to Serbia Kyle Randolph Scott stated on Monday that relations between Belgrade and Washington are positive and getting better - and Serbia should not feel it has to choose between Moscow and Washington.

"I think it is a false dilemma. Serbia can maintain good relationships with both Russia and the West; as it was in the past, the same can be in the future," Scott said.
