How and why is it important that public figures and citizens stand by students? What does it mean to both? Which of these supports is even more important? What have the students managed to change in society and at the faculties so far? What are the effects of blockades? What next and is there a chance that their demands will be fulfilled

"Zoran Đorđević is precisely one of those people whose word cannot be trusted at all." "He personally lied to me when he was the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Serbia," Željko Veselinović, president of the United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga", told the "Vremena" portal.
Zoran Đorđević pointed out that since the beginning of the strike at the Post Office, he has not had official discussions with union representatives and that he has not received any official demands, but that he has fulfilled everything he heard about from informal sources.
Only when we dismantle the propaganda machinery of hatred and violence, will we acquire the prerequisites to build a just, safe, democratic and ecologically clean Serbia together with the citizens. Serbia of free media and free people. Serbia of independent prosecution and independent judiciary. Serbia where power is divided, replaced, controlled and limited. A land that belongs to the citizens, not to one man and his "godfathers"
Since the demands of the "Serbia against violence" protest have not been met, the opposition parties that organize them demand the calling of extraordinary parliamentary and Belgrade elections. Until then, they want to "block" the work of the Serbian Parliament

In the destroyed public space, political substance appeared again - the awareness that civic energy must be articulated in political terms. Citizen political parties and citizens' representatives serve exactly that
The vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called all citizens participating in anti-violence protests "vultures and hyenas", and then invited them to some kind of dialogue, and that it was not clear to her how after the insults that had been uttered, that the conversation should look like
In a letter to the state institutions signed by the majority of parents of the VII/2 section of the "Vladislav Ribnikar" Elementary School, where the massacre was committed on May 3, it was explained why they consider it pointless to meet with the Prime Minister of the Serbian Government, representatives of the line ministry and of the City of Belgrade and repeated requests and questions that have not been answered so far.

"If there are tens of thousands of people ready to walk and press in the coming weeks, that's something no one can control. This is an advantage of non-institutional politics, but it is very difficult to predict the scope because it is something that is outside of all forms and rules. The collapse of the regime can occur in two weeks, and it can also happen that the citizens say: 'We are bored with this and it is not leading to anything, let's go home'"
Our opposition does not have to fight only against SNS and SPS. She also has to deal with a certain inertia of the Serbian free media, the only ones where she has the opportunity to appear. Namely, what is the free media doing that reduces the chances for us citizens of Serbia, their listeners and readers, to see a change in the system that is destroying us in the foreseeable future?
"Everyone will be held accountable" The president also addressed the plenum meeting of students of the Faculty of Traffic and Medicine, which was also attended by a member of the Serbian Progressive Party. Not only did he attend, but he also secretly recorded the conversations, and the recording was later published on the regime's Informer TV. On Monday (April 7), Informer TV aired a video from a plenum of students at the Faculty of Medicine, where they are allegedly planning to block Nikola Tesla Airport and break into flight control. The editor-in-chief of Informer, Dragan J. Vučićević called this "planning of a terrorist act". The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office reacted immediately by ordering the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security and Information Agency to collect all information related to the recording, and one student was detained for an informative interview. https://vreme.com/komentar/logika-pada-i-zelje-iz-asfalta/ The students of the Faculty of Transportation who attended this plenum issued a statement shortly after the broadcast of the video in which they explained that the plans presented on that occasion were part of a carefully thought-out strategy to reveal the source of the leak of internal information, and on the video you can clearly see the inscription "Spin THIS", most likely addressed to pro-government tabloids. Vučić said that the entire public was informed these days "what the famous plenums look like, that they talk about the commission of serious crimes". "We have seen that the platform for implementing violence in Serbia, United Media, calls people to violence if there is no government according to their will, regardless of the fact that they do not have a majority, regardless of the fact that nothing would be in accordance with the law," said Vučić. To all those who, as he said, "talk about violence, salutary violence", he said that he will answer, and that this will be one of the demands that will be presented at the rally he is organizing on Saturday, April 12, in Belgrade. "And they will not give up on those demands until they are fully met. The perpetrators will have to answer, and Serbia will be free again, freed from terror. Everyone will be able to move as, where and where they want, everyone will have the right to gather, everyone will have the right to think for themselves, not someone else's," said Vučić. "Students to think and return to the classrooms" At the same time, he appealed to the students "to think, to return to their amphitheatres, to their classrooms, to study and work." "My request is for them to understand that the time of pressure and violence has passed. My request is only for them to do what is best for themselves and to do what would make them and their parents proud," said Vučić, the man who actually controls all institutions in the country. The day before (April 8), the Ministry of Education filed 37 misdemeanor charges against higher education institutions and responsible persons for not holding classes. Institutions have been given eight days to start classes, which will be determined in the control supervision, after which new misdemeanor reports can be expected. The penalty for not conducting classes for institutions is from 200.000 to two million dinars, and for responsible persons from 5.000 to 50.000 dinars.', 'pageDate': '2025-04-09 14:44:17', 'pageAuthor': authors, 'visitorType': visitor_type, }); console.log(post_id); console.log('Pushed'); });View this post on Instagram
