Serbia has never waited with greater impatience for the composition of an electoral list, as it is waiting to read who are the people who will sign their name and surname as candidates.student lists".
How are candidates selected? for this list writes "Vreme" in the new issue that will be published on Thursday, September 18.
In addition to the fact that the students said that the list is 99 percent complete and that the candidates must not be students, members of the ruling coalition, or former or current officials of the parliamentary opposition, members of the executive or legislative power, "Vreme" finds out what kind of process each potential candidate must go through.
The voice of each faculty, but also the possibility of vetoing with a mandatory interview and acceptance of the ideological minimum, are part of the process.
"Each candidate must have an interview with students," says our source.
Students have the right to ask him whatever questions they want, but they must also pledge to respect every single candidate who comes before them. Both his national, religious, sexual and any other affiliation.
"The list will correspond to the citizens"
The students agreed that the candidates from their list, when they enter the Assembly, will answer to the citizens, not to them.
However, according to sources in the editorial office, this does not mean that the students will give up monitoring them.
Jelena Cupać, a researcher at the Berlin Center for Social Sciences WZB, expects that the list will, for tactical reasons, try to cover the entire political and ideological spectrum in order to maintain the broad support it already enjoys.
Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, Jovo Bakić, tells "Vreme" that the time has come to go public with the names of at least a dozen of those who will be at the top of the list.
"Those people could talk with representatives of various countries, but also communicate with the domestic public and citizens. It is true, they will be the target of regime propaganda, but that is something that goes into the term of service," Bakić explained.
