In response to the amendment of the Serbian Government Regulation on the working conditions of universities and faculties, the Free University of Niš called for a boycott of all state bodies
The initiative of the Free University in Niš called on members of the academic community to boycott all state bodies in response to the amendment of the Regulation Government of Serbia on norms of university working conditions and faculty.
As they stated in the announcement, the invitation refers to university professors, researchers in scientific titles, teaching assistants and assistants for the boycott of government and parliamentary commissions and boards.
"The boycott is a response to the Government's hostile act of disciplining university professors, scientists and associates by drastically reducing or unlawfully and unconstitutionally canceling the right to earnings, for supporting the demands of students," the statement said.
The Free University of Niš condemned, as it stated, hate speech and media incitement to hatred towards university and scientific workers and called on the holders of prosecutorial functions to initiate proceedings against members of the Government, certain members of the Serbian Parliament and the President of the State for "unconstitutional and illegal termination of salaries of teachers and university associates in Serbia".
"The speech and attitudes of the President of the Republic do not leave the average citizen with a dilemma that university professors do nothing, that they are rich and that they should be punished for that, so that millions of citizens would be happy about it. This kind of speech creates tension and hatred towards university professors, who unequivocally represent the most educated social stratum," the statement reads.

After the President of Serbia publicly questioned the legality of Rector Vladan Đokić's participation in the student electoral list, the Rector replied that as a citizen and professor he was guaranteed the right to be elected. He argues that political engagement does not conflict with academic integrity, as long as it takes place outside university institutions
President Aleksandar Vučić's statement that the SNS will block the courts in Novi Sad raises serious questions about the attitude of the executive power towards the independence of the judiciary. While the courts are being accused of "injustice" and "color revolution", the president is sending a message that looks less and less like an institutional dialogue and more and more like an open confrontation with all those who are not loyal to him
The Court of Appeal in Novi Sad partially accepted the appeal of the defenders of the arrested activists and ordered house arrest with electronic monitoring for Marija Vasić, Lado Jovović and Lazar Dinić. They are prohibited from using the phone, the Internet and contacts with other people, and the measure will last until August 20.
After more than a month, the Russian Federal Security Service answered the question of "Vremena" about whether they investigated the events in Serbia on March 15 at 19:11 in the center of Belgrade
Professor of sociology Marija Vasić is still on hunger strike in the Special Prison Hospital in Belgrade, where she is placed in the psychiatric ward. Her lawyer, Aleksandar Petrović, warns that Vasić cannot walk, is receiving infusions and antibiotics, but that she is determined to persevere until the court decides on the fate of the detained activists.
Keeping sociology professor Marija Vasić in prison on charges of terrorism is an anti-civilization crime. Or grotesque, whatever you want. Why don't judges, prosecutors, policemen, security guards rebel against it
In a speech that made no sense from the point of view of logic and integrity, Vučić offered his voters everything they wanted to hear. But, all in contradictions. The spirit of rebellion can no longer return to the bottle because the bottle is broken
The Republic of Serbia is in danger. If we remain silent on the rigged process against political prisoners in Novi Sad and the Kraljeva case where the victims were declared violent, soon we will all go on hunger and thirst strikes for a shred of justice
