Education under pressure: NAT requires blocking break

Almost six months after the fall of the canopy and the beginning of blockades of faculties and school institutions, due to numerous protests and pressures, the appeal of the National Body for Accreditation and Quality Assurance in Higher Education (NAT) arrived for higher education institutions to take urgent measures, in order to ensure the smooth and continuous development of the teaching process

A joke from the state

RTS is blocked, universities do not work, and threats, insults and calls to the prosecutor's office and the police to arrest blockers, rioters and terrorists are pouring out from the top of the government. The Serbian state has turned into a farce

Attack on the academic community: Is the continuation of the university blockade expedient?

The government already dealt with the university in 1992 and 1998 based on the so-called Milošćević's, and then Šešel's University Law. The second attack was more devastating, it shone a light on the anti-intellectualism of the Serbian Radical Party. In it, Aleksandar Vučić stood out, who even now prepares the destruction of the rebellious academic community

Has there been protest fatigue: Where to next?

After several months of protest, fatigue is natural. That doesn't mean the fight is over. However, instead of mass gatherings, the question is how to further direct the energy of student and popular protests

Authority and undermining student blockades

Inserted elements and other attempts

In what way is the regime trying to extinguish the revolt at the faculties from within? How much room for maneuver do they have? How much influence do representatives in SKONUS have on that? How is pressure exerted on faculty administrations? What else can be expected

The student rebellion continues: Is the academic year lost?

Four months after the beginning of the blockades, the students' demands are still not met, and an imminent return to the faculties is not in the offing. At the same time, the regime tries to divide students into those who want to and those who don't want to study, and the pressure on professors is also starting. Will students persevere at the cost of a missed academic year?

I will buy you a top.

The progressive regime has become dangerous and a serious security risk for all citizens of the Republic of Serbia. That's how it should be treated

Counter-students as a diagnosis

Daily protests, assembly sessions at all levels with the presence of the police, education in disarray, universities in open rebellion, and Vučić and company "defend" stability. What are you guys talking about? You just destabilized Serbia

Nothing is far away for Niš students

Although students from Niš are also exposed to media targeting, although some professors and part of the public pressure and intimidate them, they still enjoy great support from a large part of the academic community. This support goes so far that, after the establishment of the Informal Group of Nis Students, the Informal Group of Teachers, Associates and Researchers of the University of Nis was also established.

How to (not) fail protests

The longer the student and popular uprising lasts, the more the question arises whether the demands will become more "political" - say, a transitional government and fair elections. But the chances of interrooms and banter are also increasing, which are a sure recipe for the end of the protest

On the way to Novi Sad: 'But the food was good, really

On the way to Novi Sad, the locals welcomed the students with smiles, tears, fireworks, and plenty of food. Beans, roast, rolls, goulash, soup, pancakes - there is nothing that was not on the streets of Belgrade, Batajnica, Nova and Stara Pazova, Inđija

Youth governments are lifesavers

The youth generations in the 220-year history of Serbian governments came as a remedy for a society of spent ideas, compromised personalities, ossified patterns and politicians who had nothing to offer, when the state was stagnant or even questioned

Continuation of protests in Serbia: "Sorry to bother you..."

Protests by students and other citizens continued on Sunday, January 24. The farmers arrived in Belgrade, and the Independent Union of Educational Workers of Serbia announced the continuation of the strike. Citizens in Vidikovac blocked the intersection near McDonald's

Let's be strikers, if only for one day

The general strike on Friday does not correspond to the true meaning of this term. It is exclusively another, new form of expressing citizens' dissatisfaction and a way to spread protests. After him, others will follow

Towards a general strike: Political life

Guardians of the opposition in the winter period

In a narrowed and devastated political field, opposition parties still fail to emerge. That is why a meeting of representatives of all opposition lists is the least they can do. There are parties that have MPs in the National Assembly plus the Proclamation plus Start-Change. They should all meet in the same place and try to agree on what to do. Nobody in Serbia cares whether someone doesn't like Đilas, Sav or Radomir

Ode to Youth

What do "disobedient" students do in the blockade with a legacy that they neither chose nor created? They managed to hack the foundations of this system in just over a month of engagement. Authoritarianism is hacked by democracy, personality cult by depersonalization, fear by courage
