Schoolgirl Dasha Parezanović dies in Čačak; classmates and teachers mourn

On 14 November 2026 the town of Čačak was shaken by the news that an eighth‑grade pupil at Elementary School "Vladislav Petković Dis" had died. Classmates, teachers and the entire school staff published emotional messages mourning the loss of the girl, identified as Dasha Parezanović.

In an official statement the school staff wrote:

"The moment when words stop before pain is also the moment when silence becomes the most sincere expression of sorrow. This morning we received the news of the premature passing of our Dasha Parezanović, an eighth‑grade pupil. Her death deeply affected all of us — her classmates, the teachers and all the employees at the school.

Such a young and pure soul stood out for her love of life, her creativity, her moderation and the quiet, unassuming personality with which she left a mark on the lives of those around her. Her youth, her dreams and her stories remain preserved in all of us who love her.

In these difficult moments, our thoughts and prayers are with her family. With faith in the resurrection of the dead and eternal life, we pray that her young, beautiful and pure soul may rest in God's peace," the staff of Elementary School "Vladislav Petković Dis" said.

Classmates describe shock and disbelief

The pupil's classmates in class VIII‑1 responded with messages describing their disbelief and grief. In their statement they wrote that it was hard to accept that someone they had laughed and shared special moments with was gone.

"Sometimes we cannot believe that some things really happen. It is hard to accept that the people we laughed with, talked with and spent the best moments with are no longer here. It is even harder when we realize that we will no longer be able to hug them, hear their voice or tell them something that happened to us.

We will miss our conversations and all those small moments that once seemed ordinary, and now mean so much. Life is sometimes unfair and takes people from us when we least expect it. Although you are no longer beside us, you will never be forgotten. You will always have a special place in our hearts. Some people leave our lives, but never our memories," the pupils of class VIII‑1 wrote.

In an additional message addressed directly to Dasha they added:

"Dasha, it is hard to find words to describe how much we miss you. They say God takes the most beautiful angels to Himself, and you, Dasha, were one of them. Your smile, your kindness and tenderness will remain in our hearts forever. It is hard to accept that you are no longer with us, but we believe that now there is a special angel in heaven who will forever keep our memories. You were and will remain part of our hearts. Thank you for all the beautiful moments you gave us. Now you are one of the angels who will shine in the sky. We will never forget you, our Dasha."

The school and classmates offered condolences to the girl's family. The statement did not provide details about the cause of death.
