Aleksandar Kavčić, a philanthropist and longtime fighter for free textbooks, is now collecting money for educators whose salaries have been cut. He says he admires those people
Aleksandar Kavčić, a philanthropist who collected financial aid for educators in Serbia in record time, was detained at the airport upon entering Serbia on Wednesday (April 2), and He was later released., without explaining why it was initially held back.
Alek Kavčić Foundation so far, it has collected close to one hundred million dinars to help educators who lost their salaries due to the strike.
"I don't know if there is any country that is so ready to retaliate against its population," says Kavčić in an interview for the new issue of Vremena, which is on newsstands from Thursday (April 3).
"It only shows us that students and other citizens would not trample Serbia for months in search of justice out of pure peace, but that they do it because something serious is not good in this country," adds this long-time fighter for free textbooks in Serbia.
He says, it rarely happens that teachers and students start a general rebellion. "I believe that it happened because we live in a society where a learned man has been denied for years, and people succeed with plagiarism instead of diplomas. And not that they succeed, but become ministers."
Endangered existence
Kavčić expects many teachers to return within the legal 30-minute strike, which is already happening.
He says he admires their courage because the stories heard through the solidarity network can be terrifying.
"These are educators who are seriously ill, the entire families of teachers are at risk, then there are even three generations of single parents - these are teachers who educate students on one salary and also help their elderly parents," says Kavčić.
"I don't know how to describe my admiration for those people, whose existence is threatened by not receiving a salary," he adds in an interview for "Vreme".

Journalist associations condemned the dismissal of journalist Marija Šehić and accused the management of "Juronjuz" of collapsing professional standards, concealing information and ignoring the union's demands.
Although the opposition claims that a person who was not on the voter's list voted, the Kosjerić MEC did not see a reason to cancel the election.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm.

Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
