Minister of Information Boris Bratina stated that students “are not aware that the police there have the right to beat them and to kill them.”
Bratina, appearing as a guest on Tanjug television, stated that students have the right to protest, and that “from Tito onwards, it made some sense to let those young people be,” reports N1.
“And somewhere we all considered it good for young people to be able to express themselves, and so on. However, at the moment when young people understand something in a completely serious way, when someone is able to sell them an anarchist ideology, you know, they are not aware that the police there have the right to beat them and to kill them,” said the minister.
At the journalist’s remark “not to kill them,” Bratina continued: “Well no, but how can I put it, we witness, looking historically, all sorts of things have happened.”
As a reminder, Students’ Day is being observed in Serbia today in memory of the courage and death of student Žarko Marinović, who was killed on this day in 1936 during student demonstrations.
Students call for a gathering – their colleague detained: “While he was trying to call a lawyer, a policeman hit him”
On this occasion, students are organizing a protest walk “Freedom for Students,” from the Rectorate on Students’ Square, past the “29. novembar” Police Department, to Marinović’s grave at the New Cemetery.
