“I accepted the invitation on the condition that, in addition to myself and the Vice-Rector for Teaching, the deans, representatives of all four groups of faculties of the University of Belgrade, also participate in the discussion,” said Đokić, emphasizing that he believes that dialogue must be continued in the interest of all members of the academic community, the state and society as a whole.
