Serbian court convicts the parents of a teenage boy who shot dead 10 people in a Belgrade school shooting

A court in Serbia has convicted Vladimir Kecmanovic, the father of a teenager who killed nine pupils and a school guard in a mass shooting in central Belgrade last year, sentencing him to 14 years and six months in prison for "grave acts against public safety". The trial focused solely on the parents, Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanovic, and prosecutors argued that Vladimir had trained his son to shoot. This is a rare case of a parent being held responsible for a mass shooting in Serbia, where such events are relatively uncommon.
