Kosta's teacher talking about his behavior in class.

The Serbian language teacher from 5th grade was heard in the April 5th trial, talking about Kosta.

"He had to be the best or he wouldn't be there.
He showed inclinations towards science and it was strange to me when he told me that in the 5th grade he wanted to be scientist. He was in a class where children are more lively and somehow not turned to the book, but he was calm.
He was the best, and only had A's in his diary. He won first place in biology at the city competition other also had other successes.
I noticed that he was dominant in his behavior, even towards the teachers.
He positioned himself as if he was above the rest of us, and that we were all in the middle.
He was so arrogant, but he presented himself superiorly. "
-the Serbian teacher said

She also stated the the "Corona" period was a trauma for all of them and that after the 3rd of May, she does everything mechanically and walks like a zombie.
Regarding the transfer of Kosta's class from the year before the massacre, she said that the principal decided on it, and that she was only a courier in conveying information.

"I think that such a child is prone to hiding and that he has to be the best or he won't be. Miljana Kecmanovic (Kosta's mother)
asked to transfer her son to shift B, stating that some children from the class did not invite him to their birthdays.
The transition to the second shift was traumatic for Kosta but not anything specific, it is like that for every child. "
She said.

"Kosta wa unable to convey his emotions at the recital competition.
He sang an emotional song, but he failed to convey his emotions"

The parents of the victims tried to understand what went wrong with Kosta and questioned the witnesses about whether he noticed compassion or empathy in him, his father Vladimir took notes and suggested to the lawyer what to ask to the witnesses in order to shift the responsibility from the parents to the teaching staff.
In the questions of Kecmanović's defense council, there is an attempt to create the image that Kosta changed his shift because of peer violence.
