“CHILDREN WERE EXPLOITED”: Sharp comment from a professor after the meeting of students from Vukovar with Vučić! (PHOTO)

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, received students of the “Nikola Tesla” Technical School from Vukovar in Belgrade, who are reportedly staying in the Serbian capital organized by the Saint Petka Foundation. The meeting was held at the Palace of Serbia, and Vučić published photos and messages from the reception on social networks.

Vučić told the students that in Belgrade they are “at their home,” emphasizing the shared language, culture, faith, and spiritual heritage of Serbs from Serbia and Croatia. His post triggered reactions, among which a sharp critique from one of the professors from the same school stood out. Professor Ljiljana Radobuljac, who teaches the Serbian language at the “Nikola Tesla” Technical School in Vukovar, publicly stated that she does not know how the students ended up at the reception with Vučić, that she does not approve of such a visit, and that she is not sure if the parents were informed about the meeting and the filming. Specifically, as she states, it angered her that the students from Vukovar were exploited for political and PR purposes.

Vučić: “Dear children, it is an honor to host you as my own, you are here at your home. Long live Serbia”

Let us look at what Vučić, along with photos with the students from Vukovar, published on social networks:

“Dear children, dear young people, thank you for being here today, in your Belgrade. I wish for you to always come to your Serbia with the greatest joy. It is an honor for me to be able to welcome and host you as my own, as Serbs from Croatia, sisters and brothers with whom we share a language, culture, faith, and a common spiritual heritage.

I perceive your arrival as a meeting of the closest people and as a confirmation that the bonds between us are alive, strong, and unbreakable.

Roots are the most important support for every person, and especially for young people. It is precisely in those roots that strength, dignity, and a secure path to the future are found. Belgrade is constantly changing, but it also preserves tradition.

This is a city that encourages young people to believe in themselves, to think boldly, and to build a future without fear. True freedom begins within a person, in responsibility, work, and the readiness to learn and progress.

That is why I am particularly glad that during this visit you will tour places that symbolize exactly that.

May this journey be an opportunity for you to see and experience how ideas turn into deeds, and dreams into reality.

I want you to feel at home in Belgrade, because you are indeed at home.”

Sharp reaction from the professor: “I do not approve. I do not understand.”

A professor from the same school, Ljiljana Radobuljac, reacted to Vučić’s post, publishing a long and emotional comment on social networks. She stated that it is unacceptable for students of her school to be taken to a political reception with the President of Serbia without the clear knowledge of the parents and the school, that children from Vukovar are being used to raise someone’s political rating, and that she considers such a move irresponsible and unacceptable.

“I am never left without a comment, even when it concerns me or my school. Students from the Serbian language curriculum were visiting Belgrade. How they ended up with Vučić, I do not know.

I know the trip was financed by the Joint Council of Municipalities. I do not know if the parents knew about that visit when signing the consent forms. Did they sign consent for photography and filming with the individual in question?

I do not approve. I do not understand.”

“Someone decides to take the students of my school to a reception with Vučić, against whom young people in Serbia are protesting. That angers me.”

“While their peers have not had normal classes for a year, while they walk and protest across Serbia to point out lawlessness, unconstitutionality, and the difficult position of thinking people, while my colleagues in Serbia groan under the burden of madness, dismissals, and threats, someone decides to take the students of my school to a reception with that very same Vučić.

To raise his rating, is it? And students from Vukovar at that.

That angers me. It angers me that some are unwise, unintelligent, and, ultimately, reckless.

I understand a lot, but not this. Children are children. Students are students. School is school. In one’s free time – democracy. In the system – order, work, and respect. I will find out more in the coming days. For today, kudos to Vučić’s PR service.

“Why don’t you take photos with students from your own country?”

And one question… Why don’t you take photos with the students of your own country? Because… they don’t want you. They know you. They don’t want you.

And now I have to calm down the parents and my children. Well, thanks a lot. You succeeded. And everyone who organized this and imagined it exactly this way,” Professor Radobuljac wrote in the post.
