€600 fine for slapping a pupil

Šavnik

In spite of the fact that everyone subsequently denied that a teacher of the Educational Centre in Savnik, Milija Ceranic, slapped a pupil of the second grade of that school in April last year, the basic court in Zabljak fined with €600 for the criminal offense of abuse.

The girl’s parents didn’t want to comment on the judgment, nor did they join the prosecution. They also changed the testimony to the court, stating that they might have hastily reported the teacher to the police because the girl later admitted that she had actually fallen while playing with her friends at break.

During the trial the teacher repeated his earlier statement given to police that he hadn’t hit the girl, but grabbed her with his hands since he had thought she had felt sick and started falling.
