Opposition councilors in Kruševac, Marija Vučković and Stefan Bojičić, have called for the resignations of Mayor Ivan Manojlović, School Administration Head Zoran Asković, and Dragomir Marković Elementary School director Marija Marjanović.

The demands follow allegations that local officials minimized safety risks at the school. Although authorities previously stated the building was secure, a Kruševac City Administration document ordered the immediate suspension of classes in one wing due to safety concerns. Contractors have reportedly suggested that structural damage, specifically cracks in load-bearing reinforced concrete beams, may have been intentionally concealed using plaster and mesh during previous construction work. The opposition is seeking urgent investigations by inspection bodies and prosecutors into all school building contracts and construction.
