Prime Minister of Serbia Gyuru Matsutou on Monday, an invitation arrived from the University of Belgrade to comment on the statements of the Minister for Public Investments Darko Glišić and the Minister of Information and Telecommunications Boris Bratina. The first warned parents not to enroll their children in "blockaders", i.e. state universities so that she would not "return to them in coffins", and other students that the police have the right to "beat and kill"
Mazut showed great understanding for his ministers. The situation is very difficult, he told RTS, so he deeply sympathizes with the girl who died at the Faculty of Philosophy and that "we should not create any political platform, raise tension" and so on.
Whether the Prime Minister was referring to the regime's media and the Serbian Progressive Party, which turned the tragedy into a media circus, or to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who ruled that the student from Šabac was "murdered", remained unclear.

Emotional ministers
As for Glišić and Bratina, Đuro Macut said that he spoke with them and gave some explanation that their words were spoken "as a personal opinion in a wider context".
Because the ministers were actually dissatisfied and "very emotional" about the situation related to education and parents' concern about whether their children will graduate from university if they enroll in it.

Personal attitude
"People said it at some point, in some free conversation, in some broadcasts that were of a general nature, not as ministers, but as personalities who have some attitude about it," Macut said.
However, Glišić and Bratina were not invited to the television program as interesting contemporaries, but as ministers, so the attempt to justify their formal boss sounds as convincing as the story that "migrant-terrorists" near Kanjiza wanted to blow up the gas pipeline.
A few university professors called the statements of Glišić and Bratina "scandalous" and "monstrous" and asked the university professor, Matsut, to fire them.

In the hierarchy of the progressive regime, however, Macut is far below Glišić, who was one of the founders of the SNS, is the president of the party's Executive Committee and the godfather of Aleksandar Vučić. Bratina, on the other hand, is completely irrelevant. He was qualified as Minister of Information by statements that Belgrade Pride was a "procession of the sick" and that Croatia should be "territorially punished" for the role of Croats in the First and Second World Wars, and especially for their inaction during the 1990s.
Reactions of the opposition
The Serbia Center Party (Srce) assessed that Serbian Prime Minister Đuro Matsut today, with a statement on Serbian Radio and Television, deliberately humiliated every student, parent, and citizen of this country, claiming that ministers Darko Glišić and Boris Bratina made "too strong statements" as "persons with an attitude", and not as ministers.
"To call the monstrous threats 'an emotion directed towards caring for parents' is not only hypocritical, but also represents a direct incitement to new persecutions," the party emphasized.
