"They are guerrillas who change the world," said the dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, Natalija Jovanović, about the students in the blockade, emphasizing their courage and steadfastness.
Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš Natalija Jovanovic she stated that they Serbian students in the "guerrilla" blockade, which set out to liberate every corner of Serbia.
Natalija Jovanović assessed for today's edition of the newspaper Danas that students in the blockade are promoting great ideas - those that tear down the Berlin Wall and change the world.
"They in action promote virtue, which is necessary for the survival of civilization, and which, like water, always finds a way, despite some poor little tyrants." That path was found, both for themselves and for us, by these very children - whom we call so wrongly, because they are young people who matured suddenly," said the dean, who was among the first faculty leaders in Serbia to support student demands and blockades.
According to her assessment, the students began to remove the blinders from the eyes of even those who, for example, were loaded onto buses, went to the meeting of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, in Zaječar, and then, meeting their strength and virtue, returned back.
"It was both infinitely sad and funny." Those people who drive buses to those rallies in Serbia met face to face with what the whole of Serbia and the world has been watching for three full months - with the student cry for freedom, normality, justice and the rule of law," said Natalija Jovanović.
According to her, the special value of the student protest is the awakening of small and forgotten communities.
"They are true virtuosos in political marketing, unlike the opposition, which does not know how to do it all and is not successful." "This authoritarian regime has successfully manipulated especially small communities, where there are mostly elderly households, who not only do not know what the students' demands are, but also hardly have contact with their neighbors," Natalija Jovanović believes.
