Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said the possible responsibility of Education Minister Zarko Obradovic for the stolen elementary school exam questions "will be decided when government restructuring is on the agenda." "I don't intend to defend anybody, the police have established what they've established. The theft of the tests took place in the printing room," Dacic said on Monday. Speaking on Tuesday, Obradovic's assistant Zoran Kostic said that two criminal acts were committed - theft and forgery - and that "the prosecution should also investigate it." He explained that the worker at the printing room stole "one test each day for five days," and that "investigative activities" are now under way. According to Kostic, the "basic message" of the case is that - "knowledge cannot be obtained through fraud."
