Although some collectives have decided that classes in Belgrade high schools will start again from Tuesday, the students are not giving up on the blockades. The President of the Forum of Belgrade Grammar Schools, Ana Dmitrijević, says that teachers will enter the classrooms tomorrow - but most likely in empty ones.
President Forum of Belgrade high schools Ana Dmitrijević stated that te schools from tomorrow, after the end of the Easter holidays, it will still not function at full capacity, although such a decision has been made in some collectives.
"Where certain collectives decided to return, the students decided not to return," said Ana Dimitrijević and cited the example of Sveti Sava High School, where the teachers decided to hold classes and the students to establish a 24-hour blockade of that school.
According to her, the blockade of school buildings will also affect the employees of the First Belgrade High School and the Philological High School.
Ana Dimitrijević also stated that at the Seventh Belgrade High School, part of the teachers will return to classes tomorrow, while others remain suspended, and that it is the same at the Thirteenth Belgrade High School.
In the Ninth Belgrade High School, of which she is also a part, the teachers decided by the majority to return to classes, but the students have a plenum tomorrow, so they will make their decision.
"There is a real situation that we are facing, and that is that the teachers who intend to hold classes tomorrow will, in fact, enter empty classrooms in some schools," said Ana Dimitrijević.
She points out that further strategies are being worked on, and adds that the decision to return to classes in some schools is by no means giving up.
"We are regrouping and collecting snow for the future. All this is taking too long. This may be a break, I would call it that," said Ana Dimitrijević.
She added that the appointment of the new Minister of Education, Dejan Vuk Stanković, "is a finger in the eye that really angered educators, so new actions and reactions can be expected on that occasion as well."
Precisely because of the appointment of the new minister of education, two protests are being organized tomorrow in front of that ministry in Nemanja Street - the United Education of Serbia is calling for a seven o'clock protest, and the second one at 11:45 a.m. - the Independent Association of Educators of Serbia.

The case of Milica Stojanović, who hit a student police officer with her car during the January protests, experienced a sudden turn in just a few months - from being accused of attempted murder to being released from custody and transferred to the basic court. The decisions of the prosecution and the court raised suspicions of political pressure and selective justice
The group of students who started the symbolic ultramarathon from Serbia to the EU on April 25 arrived in Brussels. MEP Irena Joveva said: "We saw where the president of Serbia was two days ago, and you can see where the students are now."
The Democratic Party and the Green-Left Front support the student request to hold extraordinary parliamentary elections, but warn that the conditions will not be a fairy tale.
"You can't live without Vučić. Because, as with similar regimes, the fall from power or the loss of office can mean prison if there is a trial for corruption or other criminal acts," political scientist Vedran Džihić told Frankfurter Rundschau.
The interlocutors of "Vremen" emphasize that the Ministry of Education is only interested in how to completely suppress any kind of rebellion with pressure and that the school year ends, and educators go on vacation, so that students lose an important ally
The knee-jerk Supreme Being trusts in the local elections in Kosjerić and Zaječar. It must not be forgotten that for 13 years he poured heavy poisons, especially in the province, and that detoxification is a long and painful process.
If the various opponents of Vučić's regime are unable to help the student youth, they could at least not retaliate. They have been working the same way and with the same disastrous results for too long to expect anyone to ask them anything
There are no more students ahead and us behind them. Now we are all in the same situation: we drove the beast out into the open. We know how it goes
